    We did the pre fixe menu for Valentines Day, and everything was excellent. Every item was unique and delicious and the portions were very generous, especially for the price. Valentine’s Day is always a bit of a gamble since restaurants are so busy, but service was fast and professional and everything went super smoothly. We will definitely be back!

    We had an amazing experience at Ammatoli. The customer service and attentiveness was outstanding. Just simply being acknowledged and greeted by our hostess, waiters, busboy and being recommended dishes by our friendly waiter (Mason), made the experience pleasant and enjoyable. The restaurant offers delectable dishes from The Levant region and we were delighted by the quality and authenticity. Overall the food was excellent and we enjoyed it not just with our sense of taste but all our other senses. We will definitely be back soon.
