My husband & I had a wonderful evening at Cafe Brio! The food & presentation is so amazing & we were so spoiled by our server. Couldn’t ask for better. I love the “early bird” dining as it suits us better & we never feel rushed. It’s our “go to” now for any celebration or taking friends.

Last week, our daughter said "YES" to the dress and we went to Frankie's to celebrate. It was perfect! We can count on Frankie's for great value, taste and service whether we gather for a 7 am breakfast, dinner before the Santa Claus parade, snacks after browsing the downtown shops or for family celebrations. Appreciate your personal touch Frankie.

October pasta special was exceptional, our server was attentive to our needs without being overbearing. It was a busy night with booths and she kept us in view. Very happy date night.

Food at Elio Volpe is fantastic as always. We ordered the seafood fritti misto which has a light fluffy batter outside and delicate seafood inside, and eats like the best of tempura. Yum! We picked the primavera pizza and the thin crust pizza is utterly delicious! We chose two pasta, the Mafaldine and the Calabreselli. The fresh house made pasta were deeply flavorful, cooked al dente and not oversauced. They’re among the best pasta in town! Service is attentive but not intrusive. The noise level is still high despite being given a nice table in front of the kitchen. Overall, it’s a hugely satisfying dinner with great food and superb service!

Fabulous meal!!! This was my third time here and it keeps getting better. A bit spendy, but that's to be expected nowadays.
