   Nice atmosphere. Attentive and friendly service. Good wine list with reasonable prices. Not sure what else you'd need.

   Sad. I had heard this place was so good. We were talked into dishes that we had not planned on ordering and to say they were a huge disappointment is an understatement. Dinner took an hour and half to arrive. It was as if the forgot about us. They did bring something for us to eat for free while we were waiting as they must have felt badly. All in all the food was just disappointing.

   La Violetta presents an incredible dining experience each time we dine there. The combination of an extensive menu and nightly specials, served by outstanding and personable servers, provides an unbelievable variety of delicious choices of appetizers and entrees. The popularity of La Violetta appears ti be increasing exponentially as the word of this epicurean gem spreads cross the area.

   The very expensive and over aged Tomahawk steak was COLD. We ordered medium ( and came totally rare). No excuse for cold meat. The Brussels sprouts were soggy and not roasted . The waiter never asked if we would want more water ? Overall, for what cost FOR 2 people $400,00 with 2 glasses of wine, should have been A+, but wasn’t. Very slow service and not good food. Very disappointing experience for my husband birthday!

   The zucchini flowers, mushroom soup and Gorgonzola panne cotta were a big hit! Love the Caramelle pasta!

    Food was creative, and delicious. Some of the best Italian food I’ve had anywhere (including Italy and NYC). Service was terrific. The duck tortellini with mint and pomegranate was inspired! Francisco was a great server… professional and explained the menu and specials wonderfully. Overall, a really great dinner.
