A very lovely overall experience! From the moment you enter the establishment, you receive a warm and welcoming greeting that morphs into an overall relaxed and unrushed dining experience. Ambience abounds throughout this wonderfully unique and decorative space. The servers are nuanced pros; friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, employing the perfect level of attentiveness. Delicious and inventive dishes like the Squash blossoms with ricotta - just lovely! Would love to more vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. The beautiful property also has a very nice, large patio and garden for dining in the warm months; an environment reminiscent of Tuscany, for sure. Dining at The Farmhouse at the Crossroads is a great place for any occasion. I’ll certainly be back and highly recommend giving it a try.

First time visiting. Great food, ambience. Sitting by the roaring fire. Really nice. Family owned and we met most of them. Very welcoming. I had the branzino special Roman style. My wife had lobster linguini. Topped off with tiramisu. We’ll definitely return.
