    Just an amazing holiday transformation from the team at Catherine Lombardi. Eric and his team were so inviting and on top of their game. Food and service was great and the holiday cocktails this year were just fantastic. We have made this an annual tradition. Don’t miss out and pay them a visit all year long for more great food and cocktails. The Big Guys 3.5lbs Porterhouse with sides can feed 3 hungry folks with some left over. Don’t miss the meatballs and the polenta as sides or starters. All the pasta dishes are cooked perfectly and specials will often change your mind. A special place to eat.

    This restaurant never disappoints during the holiday season! Though the food and drink portions are small for the price, the restaurant is lively, beautifully decorated, and the staff was wonderful! There are so many opportunities for a picture-perfect moment spent with friends and family in the entrance, dining area, and bar!
