- MMegan1 review5.0Dined todayLovely place to eat with a great ambience. My food wasn’t anything special (I got the penne), but my boyfriend got the day’s special, which was halibut, and it was beyond amazing, we both wish it was permanently on the menu.More infoCaffe MolisePrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.7
- JJeanaLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe dined here for our 25th Anniversary and it was top notch. From the front desk staff being amazing and seating us at our table even though we were 20 minutes early for our reservation, to the server assistants being on top of our drinks and clearing our table, and to the amazing server Brenda. When she walked up to the table in a sling and immediately started with banter about how she was injured and she had us laughing the entire time. The food, just wow! It was outstanding.More infoMatteo Ristorante ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Salt Lake City•4.8
