We celebrated our 19th Anniversary here and had a wonderful dinner. The service was amazing and I really felt like they wanted to make our night special…which they did! The main waiter was from Egypt and was so personable and greeted us with some champagne. My husband does not drink alcohol anymore and he was quick to offer sparkling water. I loved the anniversary dessert as well. Everyone from the host to all the servers were wonderful and really made our Anniversary dinner one we won’t forget. We loved the experience and will be back in the future. Thank you!

My wife and I enjoyed a memorable meal together at Torali a few weeks ago. The service was very professional. The table setting, the waiter and the ambiance was perfect. We both enjoyed our meal, starting with an order of lobster biscotti and an order of lamb meatballs. For entrees my wife and I both shared an order of beef Bolognese. For dessert we ordered the cheesecake, it was delicious. The jazz that was playing greatly enhanced our experience. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

The food was alright, but nothing to write home about. I had the squid ink pasta which was a bit disappointing as it was a lil bland. Salads were good and fresh.. I would probably come back for the ambience and rooftop experience. The was a very cool space & would be an impressive spot to bring friends from out of town. Worth revisiting.
