Experience started very well and quickly went downhill. Celebrating wedding anniversary and very friendly owner and server came by table for welcome. Placed order relatively quickly for drinks and meal and then things went south. Appetizers took over almost 40 minutes to arrive. Owner and server apologized but it definitely affected the pace and mood of our dinner. The appetizers were good (pasta and soup). Then our dinner was also delayed and another round of apologies. By time dinner arrived we weren't that hungry anymore and my filet of sole was not good at all so I didn't eat it. I didn't actively complain but when asked if everything ok because I didn't eat it I was honest and said I didn't care for the dish. I was offered something else but mood to eat and wait more time had passed. The attitude of server went from friendly to brusque and a bit annoyed. Owner was still friendly but not as much anymore. The owner did proactively remove the sole dish from our bill. We didn't order dessert as too tired and getting late. The restaurant is charming and well regarded so it was unfortunate that we had a poor experience.

The food and services are excellent. Tables are a bit too close to one another. Best to use the valet parking. Not much parking in street.

We went here for our wedding anniversary and as soon as we walked in the door and gave our name, we were greeted by the manager or owner who knew it was our anniversary and he made sure we had a great table. The food was amazing! We had scallops and chicken parmesan. We also enjoyed dessert and they wrote "happy anniversary" on the plate. Overall, it was a great experience!! We will definitely go back!

Food is fresh and delicious. Had a salad, fresh mozzarella and a primi pasta, all great. Entrees were also delicious. Ambiance is fantastic with modern farmhouse vibes with a well lit tree in the middle of dining. The outdoor patio was nice with lots of plants and flowers and a little Fiat 500. Giovanni is an excellent waiter. The only things I would change: the bread is decent and made in house but doesn’t match the food. The veggie medley that comes with dinner is tasty and fresh but reminds me of a run of the mill restaurant. Also, you will never see a specials menu this large anywhere else. Overall a very high end experience with great food. Highly recommend.

Ristorante MV was excellent. We recently visited for my birthday and the food, service, and atmosphere was fantastic. The menu itself online seems smaller, but upon arrival there is a whole second specials menu that is even longer than the standard one. We were so impressed with how great the food was and would definitely return!
