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

Food and service always on point. We were so kindly asked if we could move to the next table over a few minutes after we placed our order so to accommodate a larger group as the place was hopping. We did not mind. We were offered a nice bread basket and deviled eggs which were so delicious. Nice touch.

Riley our server was exceptional. Duck breast was tender and the polenta was the smoothest I ever had. Steak tartare with quail egg was the best I have ever had. We can’t wait to go back.
