    Went for our anniversary and had a great experience. Food was delicious, service was exceptional and we loved the ambiance. They made our anniversary feel very special. My wife can’t stop talking about it. We will definitely be back.

    On a terribly rainy Wednesday night, MV delivered a fantastic meal for my birthday. The food was excellent as was the service. Thank you for making my day!

    Waited 20 min just to get an order drink. The maitre D came by so we had to ask him. Finally they sent someone to our table and ordered BUT no one ever came back to refill our water, or check on our meal. Been here before but this was terrible service, so disappointing .

    Although I have dined at Ristorante MV numerous times before, and even went to their previous location the Queen, my latest experience has been my favorite. We decided to pick Ristorante MV as our special restaurant to honor our son that we lost at 16 weeks. It reminded me of Italy the first time I went, and I wanted the best of the best for my baby boy. I am so happy we picked that spot because my dining experience made the day a little brighter. Our food was delicious as always, and our waiter was excellent. When it came time for dessert, I asked the waiter to include a candle and explained why. I was nervous about it, because I did not want to sing happy birthday but instead he offered his condolences and even gave us a hug. When the manager heard of the reason we were there that day, he walked over to our table and also offered his condolences and asked to give us a hug. We spoke to him a little bit and we just in awe of how personable yet respectful he was. My heart melted when he said he looks forward to seeing us next time with a high chair. My husband and I were so happy we picked Ristorante MV as our Sebastian place. I look forward to celebrating every important day there. Thank you to the owner Mike, manager Mike, and our waiter for making our day. You have no idea how much it meant to us.

    Food was fantastic and the portions much bigger than expected. Beautiful set up. Service was a little rough with the waiter and bus girl seeming to be miserable and her trying to take away plates while still eating. Price is fair. We will go back. All in all good experience.

    Enjoyable on so many levels. Service was very good - food was outstanding. Ambience was perfect. Don’t know how I hadn’t heard of this restaurant before. Will be our new go-to for a special meal.

    First time at MV to celebrate birthday! Heard so many great reviews about the food so decided to try it out! The service was top notch, ambiance very rustic and pretty! We had an early reservation (5:45 pm on a Friday night) and were served pretty quickly. As far as food I have to say everything we ordered was top quality and delicious! (Cavatelli Bolognese and Shrimp Oreganata) Prices are steep so you need to expect that prior to making a reservation. However, the one disappointment was the Seafood Salad appetizer which may have been a "special". We figured we'd split the app ($34.00) between the two of us and asked our server if it was "enough" for both of us. She hesitated for just a second and said "Yes". Unfortunately you cannot split 1 Shrimp, 1 Scallop and 1 piece of Lobster meat, regardless of how big each piece is. This is an appetizer for one person and she could've simply told us that. It was delicious though. I would recommend MV for a dinner out for a special occasion as the food was really delicious however.
