    Topo was rocking for Valentines Day. We sat at a 4 top at the outside bar and shared burata and some fish and pasta and dessert. All were delish! Tony does an excellent job of taking care of us!

    It was a unique experience. Dinner came with a show, the show being an employer and his employee getting into a rather large argument in front of the patrons. Happy Valentine’s Day to us.

    Service is always very good and we've been to Topo Gigio many times. But this time I did not like the cream sauce and the pasta was overcooked. My partner said the chicken parmesan was just OK.

    I haven't been there in ages & my friend & I went. I'm happy to say the experience was great. When I lived in the area, I used to go there quite often. The restaurant has expanded and still offers great service & food. We will come back again!
