    I booked a large table at Rollati last night. Thanks to OpenTable, I was able to book a reservation for a party of 11. All of the staff was warm and inviting, and the ambiance of the restaurant was excellent. I was there at 6 PM on a Saturday and although it was packed the noise level was excellent. The waiter's level of service was excellent and he came by the table many times. This was my first time at this restaurant and the quality of the experience was 10/10. I highly recommend this restaurant for small or large parties and any types of events, informal or formal. I'll most definitely be back :)

    We had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner from start to finish. We were greeted with a warm smile by the hostess and seated within a minute of arriving. The holiday decor was cozy and bright. The table and dining area was clean. Our server was very knowledgeable and our food arrived in a timely manner despite how busy the restaurant was. We will be back in the future.

    The four of us were greeted by the nice lady at check in. We were seated outside- warm day in December so it was really nice to sit outside because the noise level inside can be a bit loud. Our group ordered two appetizers- the burratta and focaccia. Both were delicious. Between the four of us we had rigatoni, two different salads and the butternut squash ravioli! Everything was delicious! Our server was great!! Loved it
