    Amazing first time at Losanti. Our server Izzy, was fantastic. She asked questions, gave great recommendations, and checked in on us throughout our time there. Highly recommend this restaurant for special occasion, girls night out, date night or even just treating yourself to a great meal. Also, the Bleu martini was phenomenal!

    Why would you go to a chain restaurant when we have this local gem that grows most of the food it prepares? Our son is one of the most pickiest of all our kids yet raved about everything he ate! Phenomenal steaks with careful attention to temperature preferences, a la carte items that have a Dutch influence, and a tomato salad unlike anything I’ve had before - extraordinary. Service was outstanding and meticulous led by Savannah and Matthew. This will be our go to for this type of experience!

    We had a Superb experience at Alfios for our anniversary. Great details from printed menus to glass of bubbles and a dessert. Service was impeccable, specially Leonor. All work in harmony. The Sommelier recommended the right wine for our food. The empanadas are a must. Creative and delicious. The short ribs were soft, tender and delicious. The gnocchi soft and tender. The bolognese departed a bit too much from the traditional recipe, by making it smoky and sweet it reminded us more to BBq than bolognese. Still delicious but a bit too creative. Anyway a great place, great service, excellent food. Will be back

    Max was fantastic! Service and courses were timed impeccably, and everything was delicious. We had a wonderful time bringing first-time guests with us to celebrate their birthdays. They were as wowed by the entire experience as we expected they would be. We are so excited each time we have the opportunity to bring out-of-town guests to dine at Sotto.
