    We’ve dined at this gem many times and it was a no-brainer for a wonderful valentine’s date for us. One of the most impressive aspects of Burrata is the consistency in the food and service quality. It’s many of the same people year after year who recognize you even if you’re only there a few times. They’re a well-oiled machine that can handle a full house with efficiency and a relaxed friendliness you can feel from the moment you walk in. The food is always amazing and the service exceptional. We always leave feeling happy and saying, “that was sooo good!” We are grateful to have a place like this nearby.

    Thoroughly enjoyed everything. We had the beet salad with grilled chicken, eggplant stack, spaghetti and meatballs, veal parm with a side of fettuccine Alfredo, and the poached pear salad with grilled salmon. The red wine the waiter suggested was really good too. The burolo. The people that work there could not be nicer! Definitely recommend

    Love this place. The food is always a 10. The cocktails are great, the service is great and the wine list (if you like Italian wines) is expensive. Would highly recommend.
