    We dined at Barbarella during their Christmas experience and it was so much fun! Aside from the decor being the best I’ve seen in a restaurant, the food was amazing and so was the service. Our server was kind and attentive and made good recommendations. He checked in on us and ensured we were enjoying our meal. I would highly recommend checking this place out for dinner! Prices range between $15-30 for apps, $25-60 for entrees and $15-20 for cocktails There is free street parking nearby and around the neighborhood

    Nick & G’s never disappoints! We had a late Thanksgiving meal with our adult sons and everything was perfect! I had the special Corvina (fish) with the butternut squash ravioli and it was fantastic! My husband had the special pork chop and said it was so flavorful. Service was impeccable, as always!

    Wow what an amazing place with amazing food and amazing staff. They really know how to vet and train the staff here. I was throughly impressed. Our host taking us to our seats said something so thoughtful it nearly melted my heart. I commented on him having to work for Thanksgiving and he said yeah well they gave us food for Thanksgiving and it is so delicious so I’m pretty grateful for that and I was just like oh my god what a sweetie!

    Great experience, highly recommend for any occasion. Shout out to our server Stefano, he was exceptional, great customer service 👍. Everyone was so friendly and nice. Dined here with my fam on my birthday, food was excellent especially my grilled lamb chops which was cooked in perfection, hubby and our son loved their food too. Ambience was very good and not too noisy. Loved it here will dine again someday. Highly recommended 👍
