Unfortunately, for Valentines Day, it wasn’t the quiet romantic atmosphere we had hoped for. There was a very loud group with a baby and small child at a corner table in our room of otherwise couples.

I’m such a fan, food is consistently great. Started with seafood salad, delicious!! My wife had the pollo Nonna, she absolutely loved it. She also got the garlic and oil spaghetti. as good as any around. My Bronzino was fantastic, all washed down with a beautiful glass of Baby Amarone makes the dinner complete. But, I still had to have the Panna Cotta and we are a happy couple. Special thanks to our waitress Anna, always a joy. If never been to Ragazzi give it shot, I think you will be pleased. I highly recommend.
