    This restaurant is amazing. It is the most authentic Italian food we have ever tasted so far in the United States. It is for sure our favorite when we feel like having some food that reminds us home. Their saffron risotto is better than my mom’s! Pappardelle alla bolognese, tiramisu and risotto con ossobuco are definitely recommended. Service is great, they make you feel welcomed and at home. Good job guys!

    Fantastic drinks, food and service! Table-side Guacamole is a must! The tortilla chips are warm, fresh and crisp, and the trio of salsas are amazing. We had the Mago salad, yum! And a selection of the tacos. Great flavors. Just perfect!

    We had a wonderful dinner at Saranello’s. We were seated immediately with our OpenTable reservations. Our server Mike B was very attentive, professional and knowledgeable about the menu. We all enjoyed the food and in particular I enjoyed the braised beef short rib. One of the managers Dan stopped by to say hello and check on our satisfaction with the food and service. Our entire party of 4 expressed satisfaction all the way around. We will definitely be dining at Saranello’s in the near future.
