    I have been looking at the wonderful Facebook posts and wanted to celebrate my birthday at Rimini. We were a group of six, ordered various dishes and all of them exceeded our expectations. The service was impeccable and the price very reasonable. I have found my new favorite Italian restaurant and look forward to many more meals at Rimini. Further, there is a private room that looks to seat approximately 25 people for private events. I highly recommend this amazing family restaurant.

    We enjoyed everything we ate. My husband had the lasagna, I had the pesto pasta, and our sons had the ossobuco. We all had leftovers to take home. We were there during happy hour so the garlic bread and fried Brussels sprouts (also very delicious) were on the happy hour menu.

    We had the best time at dinner. We srevin town for a medical procedure and were looking for a great place to eat. We are so happy with the knowledge of the food and drink. We also had a great time with our server, Benjamin. He was very gracious and personable. He said he had just started being out in the front with customers. We told him he was where he should be, and he added to our desire to stay again at Sorrento.

    We had the tasting menu with wine pairings. The food was delicious. Service was a little clumsy, and the main listed on the tasting menu was listed as halibut but steak came instead (with a Chardonnay in our glass)? Seemed that if the kitchen needed to sub they would have communicated with service staff and adjusted the wine...no explanation given and server didn't seem to notice (but did check to confirm steak was what kitchen intended). And then our check was wrong. Beyond the little service hiccups, we had a great meal.
