    L’Anima is consistently fantastic. The service is beyond par - providing support and suggestion for dietary preference (also great there are many vegetarian options here), staff are very kind and helpful. But the food is the best part. Great variety, fresh and delicious. You definitely do not want to skip dessert.

    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!

    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.
