    This was our first trip to Lombardi’s, and it will become a regular part of our restaurant rotation. We went for Christmas lunch. We were happy that we could order from the regular menu, the brunch menu or the Holiday Menu. All three of us enjoyed our cocktails and meals. The design is beautiful , which adds to the overall lovely experience.

    As always, the food and the service at Piatto's are outstanding. We had the veal marsala, Piatto chicken, chicken parmesan and chicken picatta -- all were excellent! And the service is incredible. Squash and the rest of the servers always make us feel welcome, as to John Marion, Janice and Mary! We have been guests of Piattos for over 25 years and have never been disappointed.

    We've eaten at Rumi's 4 times in the past year, and have found it to be remarkably consistent. Lots of interesting and unique dishes; tremendously helpful and well-trained servers; you never feel rushed. The dining room is gorgeous. I expect this restaurant to be here a long time.
