Excellent food and service! My husband and I shared two appetizers, the Italian meatballs and the truffle bread. The meatballs were fantastic! We shared a Caesar salad and our entree which was the chicken parm. Highly recommend! North Italia is my all time favorite Italian restaurant.

I’ve been to Indaco before but this last experience blew me away. I went to celebrate my birthday. They had a few personalized touches, a celebratory menu with confetti, a small gift for me, and ice cream dessert on the house! The food was incredible, as usual! The burrata in particular was amazing! I’m pregnant so I wasn’t drinking, but my girlfriends mentioned the drinks were excellent as well. I’ve had plenty of birthday dinners at lots of restaurants but this was definitely one of the best!

Angelines was a great Christmas dinner for my family of four. The entire staff from the valet to the server made us all feel welcome. We started with whipped ricotta. It was delicious! Don’t sleep on the chopped salad, very tasty. It was hard to choose an entrée because each one looked amazing.
