    Veal dishes are always so good. Portion size is nice enough that we can usually take home leftovers overs. Jenny, our waitress, was professional, charming and attentive. We always enjoy date nights at Azzurro’s!

    Always consistently delicious food. The specials were fantastic. We had the scallop appetizer plus the chicken and pasta special and the rockfish. All of the portions, very generous and cooked to perfection. Shannon, our server was outstanding, very helpful and attentive. All of the portions, very generous and cooked to perfection.

    The service was the highlight of the evening — our waitress was pleasant and attentive throughout. Unfortunately, the food didn’t match the same standard. I started with the caprese salad, which was overloaded with lettuce — an odd choice for a dish that traditionally doesn’t include it. It felt like an attempt to bulk up the plate and justify the higher-than-average price, but it compromised the simplicity that makes a caprese appealing. The veal piccata I ordered was tough and lacked the tenderness you’d expect. The menu itself feels outdated, both in terms of the recipes and the presentation. Most dishes were heavy-handed with sauce, masking rather than enhancing the ingredients. To top it off, the kitchen serves the same vegetable side with every entrée — a choice that comes across as lazy and uninspired, especially given the potential variety Italian cuisine offers. I also ordered a Manhattan served “up,” but the flavor and color were off — it tasted unbalanced and poorly mixed. Overall, while the service was commendable, the dining experience left much to be desired. A refreshed menu and more thoughtful preparation could go a long way in improving things.

    First time dining at Azzurro and I will return. The service was excellent and so was the food. The portions were substantial. I had the lamb chops and there were 4 with the serving in addition to the sides (spinach, potatoes and sautéed mushrooms).
