    This is our 3rd time dining at Exit 13. Perfection, as usual. Exit 13 has become our go to local restaurant. Authentic Italian gourmet selections that never disappoint. I’ve ordered something different every time. Branzino mouth watering and the sea bass melts in your mouth ! Can’t wait to try something new next visit

    Dear Caffe Aldo Lamberti Team, After traveling from Forest, Virginia I wanted to extend my heartfelt compliments and gratitude for the extraordinary surprise birthday dinner we hosted on Friday night at your restaurant. From the moment we entered the doors and received your signature warm welcome, to the impeccable service provided by Ibrahim, and Mr. Lamberti personally celebrating our special guest’s birthday, every detail exceeded our expectations. The dinners, desserts, and cocktails were exceptionally well-prepared and presented, showcasing the culinary excellence that Lamberti’s is known for. Ibrahim, with his exceptional attention, cheerful demeanor, and genuine smile, truly stood out and made the evening even more memorable. It’s clear that every waiter at Lamberti’s embodies the same standard of excellence. Our general assessment of the evening? Pure Wow Factor! Thank you all for creating such a wonderful experience for our family and friends. It’s a night we’ll cherish for years to come. Wishing you all a Happy New Year filled with continued success and joy. Warm regards, Darlene and Neil Jackson

    Emily was amazing! She brought the little things requested that many servers forget like lemons and water. Super efficient and consistently great all the way around.
