We loved our dinner at Nightingale. We had the creamy butternut squash agnolotti, amberjack crudo, tasty beet salad, chorizo and pepperoncini, honey pizza. Everything was excellent and satisfying. One of the highlights was the clams and spaghetti. It was so creamy and the pasta was cooked to perfection! The servers were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We will come back again!

I had a great time celebrating my friends birthday on Wednesday! Our server was great and didn't sound scripted or feel like she was trying to oversell us and made sure we had the best time while giving great food recommendations. Would definitely go back :)
