We had a nice family dinner with our two children. Our table was outside in a greenhouse. That was perfect, private, and created an unusual magical winter atmosphere that we loved. The food was amazing, and the kitchen was accommodating (one of our boys wanted a dish to be prepared in a certain way). Our server, Ibrahim, was super nice, fast, and helpful. The greenhouse is an amazing concept. The only downside for us was that despite the radiator inside the greenhouse, the blankets they supplied, and the heating mushrooms above, it was still pretty cold, but it didn't bother us. We would definitely come back.

We had a wonderful dinner at Saranello’s. We were seated immediately with our OpenTable reservations. Our server Mike B was very attentive, professional and knowledgeable about the menu. We all enjoyed the food and in particular I enjoyed the braised beef short rib. One of the managers Dan stopped by to say hello and check on our satisfaction with the food and service. Our entire party of 4 expressed satisfaction all the way around. We will definitely be dining at Saranello’s in the near future.
