    Always a 5-Star dining experience, Sunday night was no different!! In a town with many, many choices, this has become our favorite fine-dining destination. The service is professional, the food is excellent and the ambience is intimate. Thank you, Laboratorio, for another special evening.

    Food was delicious, plentiful and inspired. Great service. Only issue was it was on the noisier side, but that may have been due to the restaurant guest mix.

    We were seated immediately upon arriving at the restaurant. Have been there before and they are always consistent. We shared the Giant Meatball and it was delicious as usual. Had a special with cavatelli and pesto, broccoli and sausage and it was delicious. Thank you again for making this a great night.
