Always a great meal with fantastic service at this and all the Cecconi's locations that I have frequented worldwide. We were happy to get a table with a view and try some creative cuisine. The whipped ricotta with truffle was superb. I feel like a lot of restaurants have the same menus these days and the chef really puts his own spin on some basic items and really makes them mouth watering. Quite the enjoyable experience!

I made a reservation but ended up sitting at the bar and the service was amazing. The bartenders Agustin and Laura were so nice and attentive and even helped me with the best recommendations on dishes and drinks. Having this service paired with the stunning ambiance was a great experience to have and is a place i would definitely recommend to anyone.

Such a wonderful experience! Our server was very warm and kind, and did a great job at guiding us through the menu and making some great recommendations. The cavatelli was so good we would have ordered a second one if we weren’t saving room for dessert. Having my birthday dinner here was truly special and I can’t wait to come back for my next meal here.
