    Looking for a good Mexican food place in the area. Saw El Centro and stumbled in. The place was clean and inviting. The waitress Dawn was pleasant and attentive. Unfortunately that is where the 2 star review peaks. The food was bland at best and confusing most of the time. The chips and salsa looked good but tasted like an oregano seasoned marinara sauce. I love salsa of every variety and consistency but this was bizarre. My chili Relleno and cheese enchilada were perfectly ordinary but that's it. My date had the tostada salad which was underwhelming in both size and flavor.

    I've been eating at both of the locations (El Puente too) for many years, I have never had a bad meal. Not once. Nice folks.

    We visited Ristorante Ottaviani shortly after Christmas, and it was such a cozy, memorable…read moreexperience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the mood perfectly--dim lighting, warm and inviting, with Sinatra Christmas tunes playing softly in the background. It felt charming and intimate, especially welcome given the extremely cold temperatures outside. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking on us regularly without ever feeling intrusive. The cocktails were excellent and did a great job warming us up, which was very much appreciated. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried was rich and flavorful, with a standout Gorgonzola sauce that was truly delicious. The creamy burrata with pesto and balsamic was perfectly balanced, and the scallops were easily some of the most delicious we've had--cooked beautifully and full of flavor. Ristorante Ottaviani is such a comfortable, charming place to enjoy high-quality Italian food. A wonderful spot for a relaxing, special meal, and we're already looking forward to going back.

    I took Mom (and Dad) here for mothers day. The service was great. Everyone was friendly and…read morehappy, and the owner stopped to spend several minutes speaking to us. I had a perfectly baked salmon with a delicious cheese sauce. A terrific Bananas Foster followed it! I highly recommend!

Seriously, no exaggeration as this past Friday enjoyed the boar ragu pappardelle and the veal saltimbacco. So delicious, so full of flavor, just perfect in so many ways. This fantastic meal was followed by the cappuccino cake, moist, creamy, just the perfect finish. We've eaten here many times and look forward to many more meals in the future. The only thing better here is the owner. She is so very welcoming, full of energy and very engaging. The whole experience is worth the visit to this hidden gem.

Incredibly nice and hospitable and provided excellent service. The inside is cute and quaint and you can tell this restaurant was a dream! The inside is small but gives a more intimate feel. The food was not great. The place has amazing reviews, so maybe we stumbled on the wrong food. They don't have a kids menu but have basic pastas for kids. We got ours a spaghetti and meatballs which was a large portion. The sauce tasted can like. I had the shrimp pesto. The sauce was more liquid than a thick creamy pesto, which I normally don't mind. The gnocchi was good but the sauce was heavily seasoned and not super delicious. The shrimp was a large portion and okay. My boyfriend had the lobster risotto. The actually risotto was good but the lobster was tough and overcooked. I only saw pasta selections and not a lot of appetizers. We had the fried Brie cheese which was pretty good. I really enjoyed the bread but had to ask for olive oil. They have a house made eggplant that I didn't care for. The prices were outrageous. Our dinner cost $150 with no alcohol. Overall would not come back, which makes me sad for the business :(
