    Rudy was an AMAZING host! I’ve dined here a few times, but he definitely made this my favorite experience. He was very attentive and such a pleasure the banter with. This was my friends’ first times here and they can agree that his service really put their experience over the top. The food was great, as per usual, but the stand out dish was the pizza — it was cooked perfectly, no droopy center. As one of my go to places for dinner, I’m happy to share that you’re now added to two more people’s go-to lists

    My wife and I had an excellent meal at Connessa for a weekday date night. Food and the ambiance were great, and I really appreciated the fine wine list. Service was ok and probably reflects some new service/wait staff who will improve with more experience. Our experience started out with an absolutely silly noisy table, but it calmed down once those folks left.

    Took my wife here for her birthday. The staff brought us a glass of champagne too start our celebration. The server was excellent and her recommendations were delicious. The course timing was perfect. The food was outstanding and I really like the moderate portion size especially for the pasta dishes. The ambiance is excellent. Would recommend for any special occasion.
