    I always share the starters... sensational. I had for main course the blue fin tuna, astonishing, the best tuna I ever ate and the fennel salad was wonderfully complex and delicious. My friend had the falafel and he couldn't stop talking about it. It was his first time in my favorite restaurant. Kate waited on us and guided my friend through the menu. Impeccable evening.

    Neroli's is wonderful! This was our second time there. We had the chicken under a brick and the carbonara. Both were delicious. We had three flavors of gelato for dessert. So creamy and delish. Our waitress was amazing! We had lots of laughs with her and she was so nice. We'll be back next week! New favorite place!
