This was our first time at this restaurant. The building and decor are appealing. Service was attentive but it took a long time to get our entrees. There was a party on the second floor, so the kitchen must have been straining to meet the demand. The food was just ok. The baked stuffed shrimp were over cooked and the smallest I’ve ever seen used in the dish. The orecchiette was not very flavorful. Despite this, we’ll give the restaurant another try.

Server was too attentive- checking in on us every 5 minutes and asking about our appetizers before we had tasted. Appreciate the enthusiasm but this was too invasive.

Stazione di Federal is a tremendous restaurant. Richard runs a tight ship. The staff is well trained, the food is out of this world and the restaurant is always clean and beautiful. Our waiter, Jose, was wonderful, attentive and knew is stuff. Highly recommended!

Stazione di Federal was very pleasant. Great service, nice ambiance. Delicious focaccia, peach panzanella beautiful presentation and taste though peaches weren’t quite ripe. Eggplant pasta delicious, lemon and basil primavera good taste but slightly dry. Complimentary cannoli for my birthday delicious and very generous! Tiramisu enormous and beautiful. Only complaint was choice in music: classic rock and disco. Personally have no problem with either but it did nothing to complement the ambience. If they want to avoid Sinatra and Dean Martin that’s OK but maybe check out the soundtrack to Big Night to get some ideas. Overall, a lovely night and a wonderful experience. Will come again.
