    The food was delicious, the service excellent as usual. However, our one disappointment was that Becco has discontinued their wonderful bread sticks!! Our family has enjoyed them each time we’ve visited Becco over the years. They were sorely missed!!

    If you like steak, I highly recommend the Unlimited Ribeye deal for $49 on Sundays and Mondays. You get unlimited salad, steak, and fries served family style. The salad was just OK. The fries are excellent - cooked in peanut oil with some of the skins left on and plenty of salt. Delicious. And the ribeye - it was cooked to medium rare perfection as we requested, and very flavorful. It comes pre-sliced as it's family style. I'm not a fan of their house steak sauce which is on the sweet side for me, but my husband loved it. This is a popular deal, so I recommend making a reservation. I pre paid on OpenTable and would do it again. The service is good, but it can be slow as it gets very busy. This will now be a regular thing for us. Excellent value. If you reorder steak even once it's well worth it.
