Sarino

We've been here several times. The food is always fresh and the servers have extensive knowledge of the menu. My personal favorite is the pea pesto. They also have excellent charcuterie and pizza.

This is a great Italian restaurant in a quanit area of town. I went on a Wednesday night with a group of hardworking and hungry associates. We arrived promptly at 6:15pm, found parking right outside and was greated by the friendliest server. The menu had great options but wasn't overwhelming. Our group had the calamari with a tangy cocktail sauce for a starter and then moved on to the entrée portion of the meal. I ordered the chicken marsala over asparagus. The portion was a nice serving size and tasted great. Everyone was delighted by their meal and left in a great mood.

Amazing food, good service! Got 2 meals, an appetizer and dessert and only spent just over $100 after a 20% tip. Food was reasonably priced for it being handmade pasta and everything was delicious! We got the vodka sauce pasta and chicken parm. And really recommend getting the tiramisu for dessert, if you’re full still get it and they will package it to go for you!!!

We visited on a weeknight and the dining room was almost empty. There were a few other couples and one small group by the bar. The server was curt and inattentive. It was very reminiscent of talking to an angsty teenager. The food was good. The charcuterie was disappointing. Portion sizes were smaller than expected; you get to pick which meats and cheeses, which is lovely, but the accoutrement was very below expectations. The pasta was delicious and if I went back, I would get a dish that focused on pasta. Unfortunately, the patron they seated directly behind us was drowning in cologne and really affected the atmosphere. The choice to put such a strong smelling man by other patrons was poor, especially with so many empty tables. While the restaurant cannot control who comes, they can mitigate the impact they have on others. I was sitting farther from him than my husband, and he was still overwhelming.

As soon as I walked in, I thought the atmosphere was lovely! I was tempted to sit inside but ended up on their cute patio since we still have some warmth — such a nice option. My server was wonderful and suggested a delicious mocktail. First time trying the pesto pea pasta and I’m so glad I did! The bruschetta was also amazing. I was too full for dessert this time, but I’ll definitely be back to try it and enjoy more of the cozy inside atmosphere.

Pasta was fresh and flavorful, we tried 4 different dishes and enjoyed them all. All of the appetizers were also delightful. If you go for a birthday they also provide a desert on the house. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be back in the future! Update: Came back for my birthday dinner tonight and had a wonderful time! Every dish was fantastic, I was thrilled to have another 5 star dinner. Thank you!

Tried this restaurant for the first time, as a date night. We arrived early with reservations (recommended). The hostess was very friendly and we were seated immediately. There weren't many other people, as it was very early for dinner service, but there were plenty of seating style options. We were sat at a high-top booth by the bar. It wasn't too loud, or too busy. The music playing was at a perfect volume for background noise. My husband's only negative comment on the atmosphere, was the lighting. It was a bit too dim for him, without his reading glasses, the menu was difficult to read. He also noted how there was limited lighting around the bar, which seemed odd to him. Fortunately, he was able to pull up the menu from the website and preview the options. Our wait staff were prompt, knowledgeable and courteous. Our waiter took our drink orders shortly after we had been seated. My husband ordered his usual, a Long Island. Although the signature cocktails looked appealing, I have an allergy to citrus and most every mixed drink at every establishment uses either lemon, lime or orange, so I ordered my usual, a Vodka Cranberry. Traditionally, the service staff asks if there is a brand preference for the primary liquor, but our waiter didn't offer a selection, so I presume the drinks were made with the house choice alcohol. We both agreed, the drink could have been made with a little more finesse. Both seemed heavy handed on the liquor and they ended up being the only drinks we ordered. For starters, we ordered the gnocchi; it was delicious! The gnocchi were cooked soft and silky like an elevated dumpling. The sauce was generous, with a creamy and flavorful warmth. I also ordered the Butternut squash and spinach salad. The salad was a very libral portion. If you like goat cheese, you will Love this salad. For entrees we ordered the Chicken Marsala and the grilled shrimp. My husband had the Marsala, commenting that the chicken was expertly cooked, tender and juicy. He noted the sauce and seasoning could be more bold for his taste, but overall it was a very satisfying dish. I enjoyed the grilled shrimp. The shrimped were genuinely grilled with a good crispy char and flavorful seasoning. The size and number of shrimp were impressive as well. The star of the dish, in my opinion was the underlying risotto! The velvety, fluffy risotto was so fulfilling. I could of ate an entire dish of just this risotto. The addition of the thinly sliced zucchini and squash, was a brilliant finishing touch. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate truffle to share. Honestly, the portion appears modest, but the density and rich flavor of the truffle was more than filling. The delicate dollop of fresh cream and the sweet ripe berries paired immaculately with the boldness of the truffle. My husband saved a strawberry for the final bite of truffle for me, noting that he felt it was the perfect coupling. The bill, was as expected for an upscale, intimate dinner service for two. We plan to return for another date night soon. My only other note might be for some signage or clarification for the location of the restrooms.

We have dined here twice and have loved it each time! The food is exceptional, the service is amazing, and the ambiance lends itself to jeans and tshirts up to fancy dress attire. We have an older child who struggles with loud, chaotic restaurants. This was the perfect environment and they said it was the best dining experience and meal they'd ever eaten! Try the pork chop. It comes so beautifully grilled and tender with an apple butter to die for, a potato au gratin that is light and crispy, and green beans with thick bacon pieces that are amazing. You will not be disappointed. We loved it and will be back soon! We paid about $25-$32 a plate, depending on what we ordered. Children's menu was about $11-$14 I believe. Desserts were about $8. You can make reservations online or call ahead, which is a good idea because it can get busy! Join the rewards program for extra goodies!
