Great food and service, a really nice vibe. Sat outside on a cool night, but very comfortable with the heaters. Inside looked nice, really prefer the outside which was quieter.

This place is a local gem. We went for our anniversary and were met with such amazing hospitality. Every single thing we ate was better than the last and we were in heaven. Chef Adriano is so talented and the staff was also incredible.

Highly recommend Pronto Cucina for Best-In-Class service and excellent food quality. Server Katie managed a very busy crowd and our party of 7 with cheer, charm, and perfect attention to our group's needs. Our food - salads, branzino, bolognese, pizza - was excellent but even if it was less than excellent, Katie's service would be enough to bring us back! We truly had a blast and a wonderful meal and experience. Well Done, Katie and Pronto Cucina!

Fennel caprese average Fennel too thick. Truffle pasta excellent. Pork spicy pasta average. Cocktail good. Tiramisu dry needs to be thicker and moister
