The calamari fritti served with a spicy aioli was also very good. For the main, I had the chicken exquisita served over butternut squash ravioli, and added a side of bacon and cider Brussels sprouts.

Daniella's Ristorante absolutely blew me away.

Every corner feels thoughtfully designed, and the ambiance alone makes it worth the visit. The food was just as impressive. While there was a bit of a wait, it was 100% worth it. Every dish we ordered came out perfectly executed and absolutely delicious. Beware (in the best way possible!): we ordered chicken tenders and fries from the children's menu for our little one and were shocked when FOUR massive cutlets came out along with an abundance of fries. It was so good we all ended up picking at it! If you're looking for a spot that delivers both atmosphere and amazing food, Daniella's is definitely it.

Crush was perfectly cooked, thin but not too crisp. Cannolis were small but absolutely worth it, smooth filling and crisp outside, hard to do with to go orders. From my experience they seem to be great with allergies as well, I have a nut and shellfish allergy and had no issues eating here. I love when ordering online there is an option to mark an allergy on individual meals, it means a lot and sets this place far a part. Service was fast and helpful. Ambiance is great in the restaurant although we did not stay for our meal.

I'm fairly new to the area and after trying out a few local restaurants that were just "blah" I…read morestumbled across this quaint little gem. We did not have a reservation as it was a Wednesday night and I figured we didn't need one but lucky for us the young girl who greeted us quickly found us a table. Shortly after we were greeted by our waitress Cathy, or Christy? I don't normally do restaurant reviews because I find it a bit tacky but our experience here was something I will never forget. I have food allergies and our waitress took the time to go through the entire menu with us without making us feel like a burden. She was wonderful attentive, and made us feel like family. We got the Salmon dish, it was cooked to perfection and the filet mignon, which was equally as great. Our waitress recommended Key Lime pie for dessert and it was delicious. Everything about this restaurant is spot on. We will be back.

They also offer outdoor seating, which is a nice option when the weather is nice. If you're planning to go during peak dinner hours, I definitely recommend making a reservation. The service can be a bit inconsistent, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, it's a good spot that I would recommend.

The food is good, but the service is lackluster. We had a subpar experience a few months ago and…read moredecided to give it another shot. This time was worse. While there are gluten free options, I was served gluten during both visits. The first time was the wrong pasta. The kitchen made me a new meal. The second attempt was fine, but my table ate while I waited and then I ate alone when my food did come. This time we ordered a gluten free pizza as an app. We received a regular pizza. We were told that we would be comped for the mistake and a gluten pizza was on the way. Neither statement was true. An hour after we ordered, after we had completed our meal, we were told the kitchen was backed up and asked if we still wanted the gluten free pizza. We declined because we just wanted to leave at the point, but the regular pizza was still on the bill. We paid it - it's fine. As a member of the gluten-free/celiac community, I would caution others to be extra careful here. We really wanted to like this restaurant, but the very slow service (a hour before we received any food) coupled with the allergy mistakes make it tough to consider again.

We ordered 7 dishes for 4 people because everything on the menu looked so good and they had such a great selection, and we brought home quite a bit of leftovers! My son loved everything from the fresh pasta down to the bread and devoured the leftovers the next day. A hidden gem for sure!!
