    We love Pacci’s a local independently owned small restaurant. Originally known for its Neapolitan pizza, which is still great, now encompasses a basic Italian menu with daily specials. Our party enjoyed lasagna- “flavorful meat, delicious ricotta, maybe a little too much red sauce”, calzone- “good dough, nice amount of cheese and meat, could have benefitted from more sauce or a separate dipping sauce”, and picatta style barrumundi- “moist flavorful fish, light lemon butter sauce with plenty of capers.” Service was prompt and friendly, not intrusive, could have a little more attentive.

    Caruso’s Pike and Rose is fantastic. Beau and Jamal took excellent care of us when we visited for our anniversary. Our favorite bites were the chicken parm, shrimp scampi, and the Oreo cheesecake (on special - if they don’t have it when you go, we recommend the Creme brûlée). Our favorite part of Caruso’s is how cozy and homey it feels - truly old school Italian vibes. The staff is excellent and they give great recommendations. You can’t go wrong at Caruso’s.

    The food was good but not hot enough. Tasty food and great menu. Most of staff seemed inexperienced so it took time to get our water and bread. We had plenty of time to chat with our friends. It is a small restaurant so I suggest reservations and be prepared to wait.

    We enjoyed our birthday celebration at Pinstripes, but I have one suggestion. The "truffle fries" were very disappointing - not tasty or hot. They were thinner than shoestring size and not at all appetizing. I recommend you rethink that offering. Everything else was very enjoyable.
