    Capri is one of our very favorite restaurants to go to. They have lunch Monday and Fridays and then dinner throughout the week. The waiters are top-notch and always there for your needs. The bussers are awesome too. I highly recommend it. All their pasta is homemade in the house and is delicious.

    I took my brother to Ambrosia to celebrate his birthday. We had a wonderful meal and great service. The carbonara, my brother's favorite as well as my own, was outstanding. Our server was just the right amount of attentive and presented us with a choice of desserts in honor of his birthday, on the house. The chocolate cake he chose was dense and moist and also very good. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Food and wine were delicious. Service was great. We were a few minutes late for our reservation but our table was held and ready for us when we got there even though the place was packed. Everyone and especially our server Andre was friendly and very attentive. Can’t wait to go back!

    Mushroom ravioli was out of this world! Calamari for appetizer was delicious as well! Orzo salad and tricolor were so yummy! My husband had the seafood special and my children had the lasagna and the kids pasta with meatballs. Everything was delicious! For dessert, we had the brown butter cake and the chocolate mousse and would definitely get them again!
