    Emanuel’s service was probably the best we’ve ever had. Cleaning up the table, filling our drinks, serving our food, and was very respectful. Food was amazing and we enjoyed our date night for sure! We will be coming back.

    Last night’s dinner was a true delight, full of comforting flavors and satisfying dishes. We started with crispy provolone—golden and gooey, with just the right crunch—followed by a fresh crisp Caesar salad. The main course was classic Chicken Parm, tender and savory under a blanket of rich tomato sauce and melted cheese. A Margherita pizza brought fresh basil, mozzarella, and tomato together in perfect balance. To finish, we cooled off with a refreshing strawberry sorbet, sweet and light—a perfect end to a delicious meal.
