We had the best Thanksgiving celebration experience at Felina. When we arrived, we were greeted by the warmest hosts. Our waiter, Will was very attentive and the service by everyone was top notch! The food was delicious with excellent presentations. And last but not least is the live music. It was such a wonderful addition; the musicians played very well, and the sound level was perfect. What a memorable dinner and will come back again!!

Fantastic experience for the pasta making class, and really lovely meal afterwards! Great for date night and looking forward to a girls night here for the class again! I recommend the last class of the night, because otherwise you are listening to the class after you while you try to eat. Wouldn’t be awful but just a heads up! We loved Anthony’s humor and the sangria was fantastic in the bottomless drink package. Book it, and enjoy!

Food is outstanding! We had the crab cake, eggplant tower and meatball appetizers - we couldn’t pick a favorite. Entrees were equally is delicious and portions are very generous. Dining room was crowded and lively. Always a fun experience.
