    We had a very nice meal at Baraonda. We started the arugula salad & burrito. Both were very good. I had the striped bass with broccoli & fingerling potatoes. My husband had the Bolonese & ate it all so guess he liked it. Our server was very attentive & gave us great service. We will definitely return.

    My wife and I went to Pendolino last night for an early dinner before going to a concert. We ordered drinks and then a buratta pizzette as an appetizer to split. After that we ordered a pasta dish, the gulf shrimp alla vodka, as an entree to split. Everything was great. My only complaint is my wife's first cocktail, a Mama Mia, came to our table much later than expected, but the rest of the food and drink items came fast. We've been to Pendolino several times and will be back soon.

    Great experience at North Italia restaurant. Had a birthday brunch for my girlfriends and the food was amazing, lots of gluten-free options and the chef was very meticulous about our food allergies to nuts. I gave this place a five star and yes, I am coming back. The pasta was amazing !!
