    We celebrated a birthday party at Saranello’s. The staff and management made the celebration very special. Everyone in our party of 8 enjoyed the food and the service was absolutely top notch. Our server Mike B was very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and pleasant. Managers Ari and Dan stopped by to say hello and check on our satisfaction. Our entire party of 8 highly recommended Saranello’s. Thank you, to the staff and management who helped make the birthday celebration a memorable experience.

    The brunch was very good and my family enjoyed it. They sat us in the other room & it felt like a wedding. The chic was not as good in the smaller area.
