I went to La Violetta restaurant in December for a birthday dinner. I found it excellent at the time so decided to go there for my birthday last night. It was one of my better decisions 😊 Our table was ready for our reservation when we got there on time. The food was utterly amazing. Their regular menu is great, but the chef’s daily specials are unbelievable. The place is not cheap, but the portions are more than adequate. Sharing appetizers around the table is important or you will not have room for your dinner! The chef sent out a beautiful flatbread to complement our evening and it also was magnificent It is safe to say this will become one of my favorite places to go for celebrations

Consistently excellent every time from the complimentary amuse-bouche ( duck and pear strudel ) to the sea brim to the spaghetti alle vongole. Interesting tartare appetizer. Great service (Alessandro) good drinks. A pleasure as always.

Our waiter Frederico was extremely pleasant and very knowledgeable about the menu. Ordered his recommendations and were not disappointed. This meal was the closest to dining in Italy we have ever experienced stateside!
