    Haven't been to Butera's in years. It's better than ever. Joe was our server, one of the best waiters we have encountered. There is an open policy to change sides or how your entree is prepared. We will be returning.

    Fantastic. Family style. We were 9. The service was exceptional. Apps- all very tasty: calamari: crispy, tender, red sauce lovely. Baked Clams: whole, small, breadcrumbs were not overly seasoned so I could taste the clams. Meatballs-regular: tennis ball size, not too firm or overly breaded, delicious, their red sauce is sweet and yummy. Chris & Tony’s salad: was plated which was nice, perfectly dressed, added the salami and cheese on the side which was a nice addition. Dinner - rigatoni alla vodka with prosciutto was maybe the best we ever had, pasta was actually al dente, not over-sauced, outstanding. Fillet of soul - broiled, francese style - light, flaky, very fresh, well balanced francese sauce - not too much lemon or capers. Last was the veal Marsala which I cannot comment on because I couldn’t eat anymore but the folks I was with loved it. We did not have dessert. Overall, pricey but that being said, I don’t mind paying for exceptional food and service which is not too common especially on the island. Well worth it and we will go back.
