    All in all a “so so” experience. Martini was almost all vermouth. Calamari were rubbery and the sauce served with it was the wrong one; didn’t ask server to fix it as he didn’t look like he could be bothered. Bread to go with our order for $8?! I’d go back for lunch if I was in the area but wouldn’t make it a special occasion place or someplace I’d meet friends to hang for a while.

    The food and drinks are always excellent! Today I especially enjoyed the eggplant stacks and the pear salad with salmon. The service was outstanding- attentive and friendly. Exit 13 has become our favorite place for great food, a casual and fun atmosphere, and great owner and staff.

    We were nicely greeted as we walked up to the hostess station. Most restaurants overlook this very important interaction, first opinions matter. We enjoyed the gnocchi (best I’ve ever had), tomato bisque soup, pistachio encrusted salmon, fettuccine bolognese and lastly, the arugula, golden beets and burratta salad…..dang the salad was outstanding! I would remove the artichoke special you had last night(w/melted mozzarella). That dish fell far below the quality of all our other dishes. Our server Rachel was attentive and personable!

    This is our 3rd time dining at Exit 13. Perfection, as usual. Exit 13 has become our go to local restaurant. Authentic Italian gourmet selections that never disappoint. I’ve ordered something different every time. Branzino mouth watering and the sea bass melts in your mouth ! Can’t wait to try something new next visit

    This is one of our favorite spots. Drinks and food are always perfection. I love that their bread, pizza and pastas are homemade with products from Italy. It makes me feel better about the quality of food. A must try spot
