Marcellino Ristorante

Went for a date night and had an excellent time. From the friendly staff to the great live music, the place was a hit. Our dinners were superb as we argued over whose food was better, each not wanting to concede our mouthwatering dishes of pork(me) and chicken(her). We weren't feeling noodles tonight but will definitely go back to try . We were feeling the apple dessert with ice cream and it was just right to split. 10 out of 10!

Marcelino’s patio is really attractive, and I especially like that it’s below street level shielding it from car noise. Our friends loved their cocktails, and we enjoyed the selection of Italian wines - there’s enough variety for all budgets. Our server was efficient and attentive, and we were never left wanting. The only negative of all of our dishes was the mussels in a tomato-based sauce. The sauce was quite tasteless and definitely not at all spicy.

Wonderful traditional style Italian pasta. Nice homey atmosphere with live music, check out the performance times for a great date night right in the middle of Old Town

We tried this restaurant in old town Scottsdale by the canal. The setting is beautiful with the lights, and the weather was great on the patio (in May) after 7pm. Expect to pay a decent amount. The quality of the food is good. Portion size varied. My wife had a seafood dish that was a special with lobster. It was probably the best (and biggest) dish. The pasta dishes we tried were very tasty, and adequate. The veal and chicken dishes were pretty small, so if you order that don't come hungry. The mule in spring drink was refreshing, though my wife's espresso martini was really tasty.

Truly 5 stars restaurant and a must try if you enjoy fine Italian cuisine Service was friendly from the start with great attention to details. The pasta specials sounded so delicious but I went with the amazing lamb chops - which were cooked to perfection. I don’t think you go wrong with any dish in this place but the gelato is the best way to end a perfect meal Do yourself a favor and visit Macellino

Came in on Sunday for food after the art festival. Bartender Brunello was fabulous, knowledgeable, and friendly. Food was beyond delicious as was the wine. I can’t wait to come back.

A Culinary Masterpiece in Scottsdale! If you’re searching for the pinnacle of Italian dining, look no further than Marcellino Ristorante in Scottsdale.

The fresh pastas are beautifully made, the sauces are delicious, & the service is impeccable. Be sure to book a dinner reservation here next time you’re in Old Town Scottsdale! We had a wonderful meal this evening; thanks to Marcellino Ristorante for the great Italian food & lovely experience.

Food was amazing. Service should have been better for the quality of restaurant it is. Went during a live music night. Music ambiance was good.

Where do I even begin with the abysmal excuse for a server I encountered at Marcelino's. Let's start with their complete and utter disregard for basic customer service principles. From the moment they begrudgingly approached our table, it was clear that they viewed us as nothing more than an inconvenience standing between them and their next smoke break. Their demeanor was as cold as the soup they sloppily poured into a bowl before unceremoniously plonking it down in front of me. Not a single word of greeting, not a flicker of acknowledgment that we were paying customers deserving of even the most rudimentary level of respect. But perhaps the most egregious offense was their sheer laziness. It was abundantly clear that they couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to ensure that our dining experience was even remotely satisfactory. Refills were nonexistent, dirty dishes piled up on our table like a monument to their apathy, and any attempt to flag them down for assistance was met with a dismissive wave of the hand. In conclusion, if you have the misfortune of being seated in, do yourself a favor and walk right out the door. Save yourself the frustration, the disappointment, and the inevitable heartburn that comes from dealing with such an inept and indifferent excuse for a server.

Ha. Not "World Class". Not even close. But okay. My husband is Italian and we love going to eat in Italy where food is seasonal. There are good restaurants and bad restaurants there, as well, and we want to point this out because so many Americans probably over-glamorize Italian food that is served in the USA. The food at Marcellino ranges from very good to just okay. This was our second visit on a period of about three years. So we have had other dishes here. .What you are paying for at this restaurant is LOCATION. Basically, the high prices are due to their overhead, because nothing at this restaurant is terribly special other than the fresh pasta, but pasta is cheap to make, and the ingredients (such as imported ham or truffle) are used sparingly in their dishes. We really loved our cacio pepe pasta, but were dismayed that we cannot get fresh pasta as a first course that is simple (like, actual cacio e pepe sauce). But what they brought was truly amazing, just overpriced. The zuppa de pesche was not that great. Too tomato-ey, presentation not great, certainly not enough bread, but otherwise a good dish. Drinks and wine were good. And now here is the part about the service, which makes this place NOT a fine dining experience (especially considering what you are going to pay here): One server, Jen, was a very good server, but another server (young, blonde in either high school or college age?) was super sweet, but unprofessional and chatty. Told us what her favorite dish is and we don't want to know that. Food expeditors abruptly plopped down food and walked away. The owner (wife) walked by and glanced over (we waved her down) and we asked for more bread. She was obviously drunk on something. She waved her hand up in the air, and said that she'd send someone over with more. CRINGE. We did get our bread, but the wait staff as a whole was like something you'd get at Applebees, and when we pay these prices we would just prefer sober, discreet service. And how did we know it was the owner? Her photos are everywhere. It was strange to go into the ladies' room, which is too dark to see (and I was afraid my long hair was going to catch on fire due to all the candles) and see the restaurant's business card everywhere with the owners' photos, of course. And then there is the issue with where we sat. We had an early reservation (4:45pm) but we were put in the brick-walled room in the corner. My husband sat facing the wall, and there was a screen flashing vacation photos of the couple. Tacky to look at, when all we really wanted was a nice table with air-flow. This place is average, and WAY overhyped. We spent way too much ($325) on this experience (we spent a similar amount in Lyon, France at a Michelin star restaurant that was exceptional: 8 courses of food, five courses of wine -- and Marcellino's doesn't hold a candle to that experience!) So, we think Scottsdale is just gauging restaurants on their rent. There are better places to spend your money if you are looking for a good dining experience. Takeaway for the owners: Chill on your hyped-up reputation You aren't the only game in town Focus on the holistic experience for the guests. SERVICE and ambiance are just as important as delicious food. TLDR: Not bad, but not great. Not a good value. Won't go back. Staff hit or miss (not all of them professional) and drunken owner (the wife). We spent $325 (including tax and tip) on: 2 Campari cocktails (1 each) 1 bottle of red wine (nothing special) 1 (shared) pasta dish, cacio e pepe, as a first course 2 salads (1 each) 2 zuppa de pesche (1 each) 1 serving, extra bread (you only get a small amount, and pay for extra)

Great food with genuine service. Upscale restaurant that you can feel. Live music weekly that doesn't overpower the atmosphere . The only reasoning giving it 4 stars is because of the high prices.

Service is superior, top rate. Large selection of in-house pasta, meat and seafood. The prices of food are $$$$$. If you know this price range you can afford their food. I had the seafood soup. Excellent sauce. Clams, mussels, 5 tiny shrimp, one scallop, maybe 3 ounces of various fish. 3 small slices of bread toast. $38.00 A go to in Scottsdale. A special place for many occasions.

We had dinner and wine last night. Our entire experience was amazing. The bartenders were personable, informative and attentive. The food was fabulous. Authentic Italian! The atmosphere is sophisticated down to the candlelit bathrooms. The best veal chop and ravioli I have ever had! The barbaresco wine was delicious! The chef/owner spoke to us at the bar. He is very nice and humble. His wife sang with the band and she is so good.... kind of jazz like... perfect for the setting! I have been all over the world and enjoyed many meals at some of the finest restaurants. Marcellino is an awesome experience! I have a hard time believing some of these very negative and angry reviews. Maybe it's you... Stick with Olive Garden!

Food was great both nights we went there. The place was clean and the staff was awesome! Not really a fan of the live music as it's hard to hear any conversation going on

Overpriced for very bland food. We came here for our last night of vacation and I was very disappointed in how bland my meal was. The sauce was watery and flavorless. The shrimp had no flavor at all. Just plan sautéed. I think they forgot to add spices. The little scoop of mash potatoes was even bland. The only thing savory in the entire dish was the rosemary garnish. If they're not going to season their food, put out salt and pepper.

I could not get reservations but was able to have a drink at the bar. Their espresso martini was excellent! Perhaps the best I have had. Excellent service from the bartenders as well.

Stopped in just for dessert and I kept saying... "we need to come back for dinner" There was live music and the ambiance was classic, elegance and romantic.

First time visit for a special occasion. Cozy restaurant with great ambiance and loved the jazz band. Food and cocktails very enjoyable. Although we did have a situation during dinner where we had to talk to the manager but we were well taken care off. Can't fault their service. Even the chef came out and chatted.

I wish you could give half stars on Yelp because 4.5 would be a more accurate rating for Marcellino. Every main and fresh made pasta we had was AMAZING! Great flavors and textures. I did wish there were more pasta offerings that did not have shellfish in them. I subtracted a star as the appetizers were only fine (salads did not have a ton of flavor), the ratio of dip to bread was not ideal, and the cocktails were only fine.

Great Italian food near the mall in Scottsdale, parking is a little difficult. Staff excellent we had Luca, and he was entertaining, professional and worked very hard in the private room for us . Thank you Luca! Food was fresh made to order, I loved everything. Wine selection OK, therefore the 4 stars, I wish they had some other bolder choices. All wines from Italy are not so bold so maybe add few wines from other places to your menu. I loved the food so I am highly recommending this place and looking forward to go back for another amazing meal.

Great place to eat. Love Italian music and great HOT food. Amazing service as well. I'm glad I didn't let the yelp rating deter me. It should be higher

Great dinner as a new try! Super location and menu! Enjoyed everything! It was a first visit, look forward to the next!

Two stars for the ambiance，which is great and romantic. But food is very mediocre and not worth the price. We are not even a little bit impressed by the food over a $200 meal for two.

The food was alright but the service was terrible. We made a reservation stating that we were celebrating a special occasion and the waitress was very unpleasant and rude. There was no acknowledgement of the occasion whatsoever. The bill was well over $400 but I would have received better service at Denny's. I told the manager that we were disappointed with the service but they did not seem to care. They automatically added in a 20% gratuity which was a joke. Very disappointing and would not recommend. my daughter was celebrating her college graduation and what was supposed to be a happy evening was very disappointing.

Food, service, and atmosphere was great. Trenton is absolutely incredible! He treated my boyfriend and I to an amazing night for our anniversary. This place is definitely special to us

Casual comfortable family restaurant. Excellent service and food. Best shrimp pasta I've had.

Food was ok, the service was atrocious. It took our server about 20 minutes to even show himself to our table. Once he showed, we asked for bread, it took him about 30 minutes and us asking four times for him to finally bring the bread. Took him another 15 before he took our order. Nearly an hour and a half after we first sat down before we finally received our food. The food was Luke warm at best. The waiter didn't check on us one single time. The rest of the staff didn't seem to give a crap about anything. We had asked about our food to another staff member and he went to check on it and never returned, it came about 15 minutes later. If I could give zero stars, that's what this place would get. THEY SUCKED!!!!!!

Loved how festive everything was on the inside and the white lights in the outside patio. Service is attentive and informative. Housemade pastas we're delicious along with the ragu. There were 9 pastas not on the menu from sun dried tomato to meat stuffed tortelloni to pappardelle to squid ink, etc. paired beautifully with lamb ragu or scallops and shrimp, etc. we also had tiramisu along with port, Prosecco and martini. It's definitely a splurge type of meal. For the 3 of us it was over $300 because the pappardelle and tortelloni were $50+ each. If you want to treat yourself, this is the place to go.

Pasta was tasty and server was attentive. It was a pleasant dining experience until I received the check and saw that there was a $25 charge for the martini. I called over the server and asked if it was a mistake as I that it was excessive. . I asked to speak to the manager. The Bar Manager came over and said there was a $5 upcharge for Bombay Sapphire and $3.00 upcharge for the 3 blue cheese olives I requested. No apologies extended. I see it is as price gouging. A cocktail shouldn't cost almost the price of a dinner.

Have been meaning to have dinner here for the longest time. I am a huge fanatic of in-house made fresh pasta. This place elevates that to another level with awesome concepts. One of the available pasta specials presented on the evening we visited was a pasta infused with both squid ink and saffron. My sister couldn't resist and ordered it, came paired with salmon cooked 2 different ways. It ended up being my favorite of the 3 entrees ordered. My selection was a truffle pasta with mushrooms, advertised by our server as a light and melt-in-your-mouth. Absolutely true, I just was left wanting a lil more umph. Don't get me wrong, others may find the dish amazing. Our 3rd ordered some pasta dish that was chock full of seafood, main attraction being the lobster tail. It was just delightful. Service was also great, unsurprising given it being oldtown scottsdale, the price, the food quality, and the vibe of the establishment. We also happened to be there on Thursday, one of 2 nights of the week that there is live music. Can't wait for a situation that brings us back!

First off you'll love the ambiance of this place! They have live music on Saturday nites. My wife loves her Lemon drop martini which she said was prepared perfectly. The waiter came to the table with their homemade dried pastas that are some of the best we've eaten in Phoenix metro. I ordered the pepper pecorino pasta with a red sauce and caramelized onions...delicious! My wife ordered one of the specials which consisted of a pasta with shrimp and scallops...again ridiculously good!

Their homemade pasta special, Porcini Fettuccine with Porcini flour infused with dried porcini mushrooms, suateed with shiitake mushrooms, and chunks of fresh lobster meat in a white wine butter sauce drizzled with white truffle oil ($52) was SO good that I had a dream about it last night. Yes, THAT good. I dreamt I was vacationing at a beach in Italy when I stumbled upon the restaurant and chef. In my dream, I proceeded to rave to the chef how great his pasta was and that I practically licked my plate. Kept telling him how I cannot stop thinking about it - even days later. Even my SUBCONSCIOUS is begging me to return. That's how powerful my stomach (and this pasta) is. My partner had the lamb chops, which were cooked to medium rare perfection. We shared a Caprese appetizer, as good as you'd expect it. Fresh delicious bread. And ended the night with the the most decadent flourless chocolate cake. Drinks I had included the Vesper (a perfect martini) and Espresso Martini (decaf). All were great. The real cherry on top of a great night was our server, Mike. Funny story is that he's the reason our friends moved to Fountain Hills. They were visiting a year or two ago and he recommended it. (So, huge thank you because now we have friends out here since we moved here from NYC last year ourselves!) Mike was attentive, friendly, and even remembered our friends right away. Even the hostess remembered them and were saying how friendly they are! THAT is how friendly this restaurant is and caring. It is rare to see customer service like this these days so HUGE props! Felt like Cheers where everyone knows your name - and if my dreams (and stomach) have anything to say about it: I'll be a regular here! Apologies in advance to my wallet. I should just get my paycheck directly deposited to them at this point!

Italian food is my husbands favorite and this is an amazing restaurant and hands down our favorite. The fresh pasta options are exquisite, with the squid ink and seafood being our special splurge. During the holidays were there three times within a couple of weeks. Service is always excellent and we love their bread with eggplant spread. We started with their spinach salad and it is hands down the best spinach salad I have ever had! I ordered the Vongole in the white wine broth and it was so light and flavorful. Husband ordered their veal chop and we split both. Perfection! Chef Marcellino makes a standard menu item special and has great presentation with food that allows you to taste the freshness rather than overwhelm with seasonings. Tonight, Chef's wife, Sima was the vocalist with a very nice trio. They were wonderful to listen to and added to our dining experience... and Sima's energy and joy is always a pleasure. We appreciated that the volume didn't prevent us from being able to hear each other talk like some places.

I am speechless! My husband and I went here on a whim and we were blown away. Keep in mind we have dined at many high end restaurants and are judgmental people, but Marcellinos left us without a single complaint. The food was delicious! The perfect portion sizes with incredible flavor that left you satisfied but not stuffed. Dessert was the perfect end to the meal and hit the spot! Service was some of the best we have had in a while and everyone there was delightful and welcoming. The music and adorable outdoor lights provided a great dining environment. We will definitely be back. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

If you are seeking fresh pasta that is handcrafted, then this may be your place. Please keep in mind you will pay for this hand crafted pasta. With that said, you'll have some unique pasta choices. Beyond the menu, there are endless amounts of specials. The server will share a lengthy list of meats and pastas for the day. The server will bring out a tray full of handmade pastas. All sound delightful at unknown prices. Note: menu is as is, do not try to substitute or modify, Even if you think a pasta is better with a different sauce. A lengthy wine list of wines is also available. Most wines are from Italy which make sense! Our pastas were good, but we all agreed that they were not great or out of this world! With that said, the chef has received a lot of accolades for his food. As for desserts: they were ok. We had a chocolates cake. Very rich. An item, that was a fan favorite for the table was butter. Real salty butter. Too bad the bread wasn't better. Lastly if you are planning to dine here, make reservations early. Especially if you want an early dinner.

We came in to town from Dallas, TX to celebrate our 33rd anniversary. First nights dinner was awful. Marcos our waiter did not deliver! Made several errors in ordering, was slow to respond, recommended dishes that were less than par. Food was not worth the price! No flavor poor service. A great disappointment considering I sought restaurants and stay on "experience Scottsdale".

This is my favorite restaurant. The atmosphere is incredible. Live music. As far as the food it s even better. I ordered the mushroom.infused pasta. Hands down this is the best Italian food in town.

I finally came to Marcellino Ristorante to try the Lunch & Learn series. This takes place every month with the exception of July and August (Chef Marcellino travels back to Italy and Greece during those months). Snagging a reservation for the Lunch & Learn is NOT easy. Regulars tend to reserve these upfront at the start of the year and there are only about 20 seats, so this is one of the hottest tickets in town. Many of the guests recognized each other which gave it a fun vibe. And eating and drinking around 2:00 in the afternoon is a wonderful way to spend a quiet Saturday afternoon in my book! The lunch starts on a Saturday afternoon at 1:00. Chef Marcellino is the host and walks you through what he is preparing step-by-step. For our program, he made pasta alla checcha, tossed with a sauce of fresh diced tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. This is an Italian specialty that is perfect for the hot months. We also got a decent-sized salad packed with flavor. The complimentary bread was uninspired but no big deal. Everything is fresh and in season and many items are imported from Italy. Indeed, the entire red and white wine list is exclusively comprised of Italian options. He even sells an apron that is made in Italy, not to mention sauces and olive oils. Chef Marcellino is charming and humorous. He has a conversation with the guests during the two-hour experience and you leave feeling like you know him. Honestly, I was impressed with the food and with the prices. Dinner entrees range from $30 to $60 and glasses of quality wine are only $14 (just do a bottle). I had a sparkling rose that was refreshing along with a House Italian red that had a great body. While I have never dined here for dinner, I can't wait to come back! Service was exceptional and the waiters are eager to offer recommendations for wines that would pair with your meal. I can imagine at night that the ambiance is dark and romantic. Real estate-wise, this is probably one of the best spots in Old Town Scottsdale. Definitely check out Marcellino's website. They run special events all the time (movie screenings, special dinners, etc.). Sadly, they don't have Happy Hour but there are plenty of nearby places for that. Marcellino Ristorante is a solid choice for when you are craving serious Italian in an intimate setting. For me, I can't wait to go back and try the Lunch & Learn again once it kicks back off in the fall. Salute!

The restaurant was completely empty when we arrived but yet it took the staff nearly 10 minutes to seat us. We stood at the check in counter waiting for the hostess to find us a table by starring at her screen all this time when all tables were open. Finally she seated us and after the "water" waitress served us table water, a very snooty waitress approached us asking for our drink order after demanding that my partner take off his hat. We were dressed nicely and completely appropriate but felt judged and discriminated against. Especially after watching other customers getting seated immediately and treated in a much more courteous way, we decided to skip dinner at this establishment and spend our money where we are treated with respect. No business should treat their customers any less important than who they think they are especially since they don't know who they are dealing with. Not everyone who has money looks like it and nobody with money is more important than anyone else. We have also observed the wait staff being ridiculed over chairs not being arranged perfectly and napkins not being set up to perfection on tables around us. This environment left a nasty taste in my mouth and I would never go back or recommend it to anyone else going forward.

This is an amazing food adventure. The staff is exceptional. On certain nights there is live music which adds to the ambiance.

Overall, a very pleasant and excellent experience. The food was very good and my pasta was very fresh.

The food was great. The Cacio e Peppe it's done with red sauce very different than the typical white but it's absolutely wonderful. The service was a bit slow but it was a Saturday not too bad.

One of my all time favorite Italian spots - amazing ambiance, great service and even better food and drinks! The owners are so amazing and they always come out to say hello - their pastas are homemade and the Gnocchi is out of this world!! If you are new to AZ, this is the spot to be at!

Would have loved to try their food but service was so bad we left. Not busy and sat at table for 15 minutes w no service and a waiter that was not happy- I see a response was made. Thank you. The bottom line w the exception of the lovely girl who brought water- I have never felt between the waiter and comments by owner- less welcome at a restaurant

Pasta was excellent, salads were above average. However, when the bill came and I saw a $5.00 charge FOR ICE in my drink, my head exploded. When I asked the server about it, she said they automatically made it a double when you order "on the rocks". What a crock! I had two drinks....$42 including $10 for ice...trust me, they weren't doubles. I felt ripped off.

Not very authentic, I am from this region of Italy that he is from "the Chef" deeply disappointed in the quality of the food...and seriously overpriced! But the service was very good.

Chef Marcellino is a true artist and welcoming host. His tagliatelle and lobster with porcini mushrooms is a meal you don't want to pass up in Scottsdale! A recommendation from a San Francisco North Beach local. Perfezione!

Having just found this place 8 weeks ago, I have subsequently been there 4 times and I would have given 5 stars. It's very pretty, comfortable, creative delicious menu and some fun offerings like live music, movie nights, etc. The service has been excellent. Allen behind the bar is TOPS! Server Christian is terrific. Recent visit: I made reservations for 3ppl weeks ago, then the night before, added 2 more verbally WITH a live person. Well, at about 150.00 a person, the food and service were good as always. However, the air conditioning was broken and they knew it! Knowing it would be uncomfortably hot in there, they didn't bother letting their customers with reservations know ahead of time. Nor did the person I spoke with the night before. I also was part of a reservation for a party of four due to come in 3 days later and that person was not advised either. Our server said it may be a week before it's repaired. While I understand wanting to keep the doors open, I felt very disrespected as a customer to not be advised. They basically decided to 'trick' people into it being too late to leave, and making us just deal with trying to have a nice (pricey) dinner, while sweating it out in the heat. Seems selfish, unnecessary and unfortunate. I'm very sad about this. Definitely not their best thinking!!

Food is great portions are small prices for pasta dishes $40-$50 The ingredients are of high quality. Priced like a french Michelin Way out of line for pasta and not a Michelin Would I go back, I hope not.

I will say the ambiance is wonderful. The ortolana salad was mediocre at best. The flavor was bland. The entree sounded amazing But did not deliver. It was a pasta and fish plate that was $48 and lacked flavor. The dish was tomato based without zest. The shrimp was over cooked. The bread was dry and the red pepper sauce for the bread was tasteless. This experience was disappointing and way too pricey.

Great old school Italian spot in downtown Scottsdale. Sat at the bar and our bartender Antonello was incredible. We had the seafood pasta as well as the mushroom pasta, great wine, great time, and would recommend to anyone....

Awesome handmade pastas. Great spot to get shaved truffle as well, in any season. Antonello is the best, great server that can recommend and guide your experience. A little pricey but quality is definitely there. Ambiance is nice as well especially when they have live music.

Amazing Italian food. Pasta is freshly made in house. Had the squid ink pasta and it was heaven on earth. Ambiance is relaxing. Service was great. Definitely coming back for another date night.

An absolute perfect dining experience, by far the best Italian food in AZ. The service was great, the live music was relaxing and classy and the food was spot on. I highly recommend this place, the only disappointment is that they were out of Tiramisu!

The definition of an overpriced Italian place w extremely small portions. Has a good vibe and very busy surprisingly. Service was good which is why I will give it 2 stars. Food was very standard issue. You'll pay $40 for an 'infused' pasta, but thanks for the 2 bites and generic tasting food even tho it's a specialty. We ordered burrata and they don't even give you bread w the order, they expect the free bread served early to go with it apparently. Honestly much better off elsewhere for a much better price, deff do not recommend.

Our new favorite Italian! Didn't know this gem had moved to downtown Scottsdale. Solid moderate prices, but the cuisine is to die for! Be sure to check out the daily specials. I had the Santa Lucia, seafood pasta, marinara, and a half lobster tail with a full claw and plenty meat! She had the Ravioli special, very unique and tasty. Plenty good Italian wine to choose from, and even a full bar. Great desserts too, including an exquisite tiramisu! Classy, traditional Italian ambiance, accented by downtown Scottsdale's upper casual setting. Indoor or outdoor seating. Take your pick: bustling trattoria indoors, elegant roadside cafe outside!

I went here last week with my parents and had a great meal! Easy top 2 Italian place I've been to in the valley, maybe the best. Their homemade pasta was amazing, tad expensive for pasta though. Our server was great and he gave us a great wine recommendation. The only thing that I did not think was a bang for our buck was the dessert because they were very small and not Wirth $18 each. We got the molten chocolate cake and panna cotta, still good though!
