    I had my birthday dinner at Lucca with a group of 8 people. The server was perfect with great recommendations, the cocktails were inventive and delicious, pizzas were great, and entrees were also very good as I had the pappardelle with duck. We finished with some great desserts, panna cotta, olive oil torta and chocolate gelato with dessert wine recommended by our server that was perfect. A perfect birthday meal. Great ambience and noise level as well.

    A perfect dinner (seated at counter) at Nostrana. Went on a Thursday - gnocchi night. I usually don’t choose gnocchi, but am now a convert - so pillowy and tender, and the clam sauce I chose was buttery, seasoned greatness. Our server was friendly, warm, and efficient and suggested an alternative wine by the glass that was from next door that was so good we bought a bottle to take home. Consistently amazing, and impressed my husband for date night.
