    As always an incredible meal at Tavernetta. Went in for a snowy Monday dinner and had a cocktail each, split an app, and two plates of pasta. A light dinner but perfect, and what we were looking for. One of the pastas could’ve benefited from another 5-10s, but with fresh pasta, who cares. Delicious!

    Benzina is phenomenal. The restaurant is housed in a converted auto-body garage. The windows are still garage doors. The interior is really cool because the style is like a mid-century modern 70’s Italian design. The kitchen is completely open and at the center of the restaurant so you can see the cooks working their magic. I preferred sitting at the counter because you could watch your food being prepared. Lastly, the food was delectable. I honestly think the pizza was the tastiest I’ve ever had. I like this place very much.

    Cattivella provided me and my partner with a fantastic dining experience this Valentines. While most restaurants were booked, I was fortunate enough to find this place with an open reservation for 5pm and we took it - we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The dining room and atmosphere is upscale but casual, and seating is arranged in a way that allows you to be comfortable regardless of where you’re placed or who’s around. The service is even better - our server specifically was quick, attentive, and answered any questions we had about the food, drinks, and desserts effortlessly. Additionally, both our food and drinks arrived very quickly. Speaking of food and drinks, everything was AMAZING! My partner had some wine and I had the grapefruit cocktail, which was sweet and hit just the right spot as someone who prefers sweeter cocktails. In terms of food, my partner got the Trenette and I got the Lamb Ragu. I can’t attest to the Trenette but from what I tried it was delivious, but the Lamb Ragu? Oh my gosh. That is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in my life. Super savory flavors and some of the most tender lamb - let alone meat - that I’ve ever had. All in all, Cattivella provides diners with an elegant dining experience in every regard, and I can guarantee that my partner and I will be back. Thanks for an awesome Valentines!

    We had lunch on a Sunday, so the restaurant was not busy. We shared the veg head calzone and champagne salad, which were both amazing! The ingredients of both the calzone and the salad were very fresh and flavorful! This was our second time at the restaurant, and we will definitely go back!
