We celebrated our 15 year Anniversary last night. Although we were seated at the counter, it was still an amazing experience and we honestly would choose it again. Our bartender Clark was very attentive, very knowledgeable and provided amazing pairing recommendations. The food was to live for and we thoroughly felt like we celebrated 15 years the way it should be celebrated. 1000% highly recommend. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

Being a Lone Ranger here on island at Christmas, I decided to take myself out to dinner. I sat at the bar with my reservation and ordered a real nice Cabernet to go with my absolutely delicious chicken Parmesan and spaghetti. The service itself was great. 3 different servers consistently attended to me which was very pleasing. The dessert finished off very well with my wine as well. The ambiance was very holiday visitor vibe but the staff was hosting at a great level. Thank you for a great ending to my solo Christmas Formaggio’s!
