    Hidden Gem! Came here with my husband and our daughter based on the reviews on Dine-LI and Yelp. Food and service were outstanding. They had a singer playing the piano and singing old songs by Lionel Richie, Billy Joel and the like. She was great also! We will be back!

    First time in the igloo. Had a great experience. It was a little colder than I thought it would be but it was fine. We went for my son’s birthday and nothing really excites him but he loved it! He kept saying how happy he was that we went there! Staff were super friendly, our waiter was pleasant and seemed like a very hard worker. Overall great experience and I plan on going back!

    We decided to try Molto Bene because it was on Restaurant Week, we usually don't drive that far for a restaurant but wanted to try it, were pleasantly surprised with ambiance and were greeted with a friendly smile. As our waiter told us the specials in addition to the Restaurant Week menu three of us opted for specials. When I heard Escargot for an appetizer I was hooked as well as when he said Lamb Chops, everything was delicious and we plan on returning real soon.
