    We always enjoy our experience at Zeugma. The meals are delicious and the service is excellent. While the prices are getting a little high, that is everywhere today.

    For a Tuesday evening in the summer, Fiorino was really hopping! All the tables were full, and there were many people at the bar. This made for a lively, if noisy, environment. Our waiter was professional and provided excellent service. He quickly asked us about drinks. Our wine was lovely and cool. The appetizers were appetizing - I can particularly note that the stack of marinated eggplant with tomato and mozzarella was delicious. Of our group of 4, three ordered the branzino special, which was served with deliciously creamy mashed potatoes. We all agreed it was an excellent choice. The veal was ordered by the 4th member of our party, who also loved it. The food really was wonderful.
