    I enjoyed a wonderful birthday lunch at Cafe Aldo. We shared a Caesar salad(I would have liked them to split it in the kitchen). I had excellent Veal Saltimbocca and my friend had sweet potato gnocchis. I had indicated on the reservation that it was a birthday lunch and at the end of the meal two biscotti arrived with the best sparkler I’ve ever seen in a restaurant!

    I went to La Fontana Della Citta for lunch today and what an experience! Our server Ona recommended the calamari for an appetizer and we were so impressed. The sprinkled feta cheese was a nice touch. Our main entrees blew us away too, no complaints. The star of the show was the service! Ona was there to answer any questions we had about the menu and check up on us throughout our meal. There was never a time we needed her where she wasnt there! Exceptional service, we can not say enough good things about her! I will be taking all of my friends and family to this restaurant and asking for Ona every time!

    Wonderful from start to finish. New filet crostini and tuna crudo were outstanding. The tuna was explosive with hot chilies. The filet was so tender and marinated. Main was saffron fettuccine with mussels and excellent sauce. Chocolate gelato and espresso to close it out. Everything was A+.

    Had the most lovely birthday dinner during the Toscono menu. Chef Liz & Co. served a fantastic dinner that had my fiancé and I stuffed to the gills (in the best way possible!!). It was such a wonderful treat to experience Tuscany through Chef Liz’s eyes! The boar ragù with fresh pappardelle was out of this world! Don’t miss out on this culinary gem!
