   Another great dinner, never disappoints. I love the option to bring wine or enjoy one of their small batch Italian wines. Great service !

   the food was very good and so was the service but not worthy of a 4.9 rating. this is a good spot for a casual meal not for a nice date night dinner, etc.

   Our first 2025 visit and it was a beautiful evening to dine Alfresco. As always, the food was excellent and Zach walked us thru the daily specials which sounded wonderful. We tried the Roasted Beets Antipasto along with old favorites- Caesar Salad (not your boring Romain), the Parmigiana and the Mushroom Pinsa (flatbread). Everything was fresh, and everything done to perfection. Add that to the unfolding sunset that lasted for well over 20 minutes and it was a perfect pre-solstice outing!

   L'Amina has become our new favorite go-to choice. Have been there many times....each time introducing and bringing new friends . Value and service are outstanding. All the entrees are delicious. Zack, Adam and Stephanie are part of an A+ team...

   Really excellent meal and service! The Valentine’s 3 course prefixe was a great value for the price and we enjoyed all of our dishes. Especially the gnocchi and the octopus.

    Looks like rating inflation for this restaurant. Over the past 3 years we've gone to L'Anima a few times. This Saturday was our last. Mediocre at best, and that's been consistent. An order of steak tasted gamey and was rather tough. The "branzino" fish fillet consisted of two small, thin pieces that looked like the tail end of two fishes, served over too-sweet, pureed yams. Nothing satisfyingly tasty to recommend. Ordered olive cake ($12) to take away. Oy. We were given a thin (0.25 inches thick) square of "cake" with the consistency of stale bread and no taste. Right into the compost bin. It came with 3 scoops of good ice cream for those who eat ice cream. I don't and didn't realize that an order of olive cake at L'Anima mostly gives you ice cream. We feel the same about L'Anima as their sister restaurant Melograno. Both were once quite good and we enjoyed them. That's not been true for several years now.
