First of all, the server was so sweet and educated on the menu. It was our first time and I had a great experience. The Amalfi coast pizza my husband got was surprisingly so good! Never would’ve thought those flavors would be so good. I got the margarita pizza and added sausage and honey. Delicious. I also tried the miso cabbage and it was great! At the end we took pictures in the photo book and I loved it! Definitely will come back!

Perfect restaurant to end a great night on. The food was delicious and the service was spectacular. I would highly recommend making reservations and going here for a date night, or just to eat yummy food. Me and my boyfriend had such a wonderful time here. Not only were we seated right away, but our server was wonderful as she helped us with recommendations on the menu. Definitely would come back again next time.

Love going to Fogo for celebrations! They accommodate large groups and have the ability to even portion off areas for large parties! I usually prefer the red meats over the white and their market table always have really delicious options. I had such a fantastic birthday celebration here. Thank you to Fogo for making it extra special with a free dessert!
