    Cafe Cortina never fails to impress. Excellent food and service. Our waiter Besnik and the entire staff went above and beyond. The young Sommelier really knows his stuff and had excellent recommendations. Fried Artichoke appetizer was unique and probably the best we’ve had. Overall a truly wonderful dining experience. We were unable to dine outside due to a wedding but will be back soon as the outdoor patio is one of our favorite spots and not to be missed if the weather permits.

    The food was excellent and the service was wonderful and unobtrusive. The restaurant was quiet and conversation at the table was possible without straining to hear dinner companions.
