Decided to try this place before the Marriott show. Finding parking was a little rough as there was a lot down about 1/10 of a mile. The food was good; although I had ordered spinach with my meal and the server forgot to enter it, however did not get charged for the item later received. My wife really loved the beet salad and the entrees were of decent portions.

Salad was really good. I ordered what I was told was one of their most popular dishes, meet lasagna. When a deer goes into the woods and they lick on the salt, that was Saranello's meat lasagna. It was a complete and total salt lick not worth anything, ever, at all. Make it yourself or do a Stouffer's...

We were seated immediately upon arrival by Ari one of the managers at Saranello’s. He was polite, professional and accommodating. The service was absolutely top notch. Our server Mike B was very knowledgeable about the menu and very pleasant during our time in the restaurant. We highly recommend Saranello’s!
