    Food and services was awesome. We were 3 couples for breakfast. Great variety of choices and some gluten free choices as well. Very cozy and quiet, so good for a catch up conversation with friends. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We have been here to eat twice. Both times were excellent. I have celiac disease and they have gluten free options and the servers check with the chef to confirm if an item is GF. The food is delicious and ther service is excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back.

    All good except they asked us to be finished by a certain time to seat another party. I think it was unnecessary to ask that. We were done in plenty of time

    We decided to try Molto Bene because it was on Restaurant Week, we usually don't drive that far for a restaurant but wanted to try it, were pleasantly surprised with ambiance and were greeted with a friendly smile. As our waiter told us the specials in addition to the Restaurant Week menu three of us opted for specials. When I heard Escargot for an appetizer I was hooked as well as when he said Lamb Chops, everything was delicious and we plan on returning real soon.
