This was a delightful dining experience. The waitstaff were very friendly and attentive. Our server even gave us a history of the area, which was impressive. The food and presentation made this our new go-to for Italian food. We truly enjoyed ourselves.

Wonderful dining experience. We did a little staycation and redeemed some Marriott points for a night over winter break. Excellent food and service. Juan Pablo and Troy were attentive, kind, and wonderful servers. Can’t go wrong with the Ritz.
