    Always have a fabulous experience at DiPescara! Their chopped salad is so delicious! I usually get the Almond Crusted Whitefish - which I love - but tonight I went with the Chicken Milanse - perfection! And their chocolate mousse cake is the best dessert ever!!! I'm picky about my chocolate desserts, and this one is my favorite!!! 😋

    The wait staff very attentive. Granted we had a 5:30 reservation to make a performance so the traffic was light. However it was clear that the value of the meals and the taste of our food outstanding. Lamb Shank and Roasted Sea Scallops were our entries. Well worth a re visit. Plus the decorations of Xmas made the rooms very festive

    We went to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The staff all wished her greetings for her day. The drinks and food were all outstanding. A dessert was brought out for her celebration. Service was prompt and well paced. I am certain we will return again in the future.

    The drinks and food are consistently awesome. The food is high quality and a real taste of Eastern European food. The service has always been great. We travel from Wisconsin to here often, a must try if you’re anywhere close to.
