Reena and Jenny were excellent waiters. They accommodated every need. The food was outstanding. We had oricetta with homemade pork sausage. Amazing flavors. Compliments to the chef!!!! The best Chianti from Italy I have had; it was a perfect pairing. I plan to return often.

The only observation that I notice was in the extra virgin olive oil bottle. Unfortunately this was not extra virgin olive oil as it was printed on the bottle. Maybe this was an oversight. I will definitely return for more great food. As long as I get REAL extra virgin olive oil. Just remember that you have customer's who are graduates in the culinary arts.

The Romano salad is always a must. Dario's wonderfrl homemade lasagna always ells out early when it is a special. My wife loved it. My seafood medley (shrimp and calamari, salmon, swordfish and halibut — all grilled then served with a buttery sauce) was accompanied by prosciutto-wrapped asparagras and a potato-stuffed roasted tomato — was unique and amazing.

Outstanding! By far my favorite restaurant in the area. Food is always fresh and delicious, true authentic Italian. We are headed back up north this week and are going to miss Apulia’s until June! See you then.
