    Had a very lovely dinner here. Excellent cocktails (we tried the Il Palio Greyhound and Limoncello Mojito). The atmosphere was lovely, and the servers and hosts were very kind.

    Always a good meal and dining experience. The staff greets you upon arrival and appreciates patrons. I enjoy sitting on the patio this time of year. Easy for conversations and a relaxed vibe. The food arrives quickly and the tastes/flavors are great and consistent each time. A great selection of cocktails (some with a new twist, great mixology). Jujube is a little gem tucked away on Raleigh Road. Thank you for another great dining experience.

    Celebrating a first year student with a visit from the parents calls for a special dining experience. Bombolo delivered and even exceeded expectations. The service was very informative and friendly. We enjoyed the small plates such as soup and oysters, as well as the pasta and the mushroom fricasee. We also enjoyed a seasonal four course offal meal which was absolutely stunning. From entrance to reluctant exit, we were blown away and have definitely discovered a new favorite restaurant.
