Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

“I recently dined at Sergio’s Missione and had a wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The ambiance is cozy yet upscale, perfect for a special night out or just a lovely meal. We tried a few dishes from the menu, and each one was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauces were rich and delicious. I especially loved the Chicken Parm– hands down one of the best I’ve ever had! Sergio’s Missione is definitely a gem, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine with exceptional service. I can’t wait to come back!”
