    We just had the most incredible experience at the Italian Daughter. We had a birthday celebration for my son. We had a table for 8 that included my 18 month old grandson. The waitress Karmin and the hostess Rosina were extremely professional and accommodating. The recommendations for each of our meals were spot on. The food was outstanding and the entire staff was first class. The restaurant was busy and the crew that was on tonight and didn’t seem to miss a beat with any of the guests. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be returning again soon. Thank you for a wonderful evening! 10 out 10 Bill

    Vic and Ola’s was an incredible find during a casual drive to Safeway! We were seated outdoors, and the ambiance was absolutely gorgeous with cozy heaters and strung lights that created a festive vibe. My little cousin, who’s part Sicilian, was thrilled to discover all her favorite childhood dishes from Sicily on the menu. From the delicious specialty food to the authentic Italian wine, everything felt genuinely special. This place is a gem for anyone craving a slice of Sicily!

    Very lovely dinner last night. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Interesting and creative flavor combinations. The tuna was amazing as was the steak. The staff was extremely friendly,attentive, and knowledgeable. Only downside we saw was the ambient noise level was quite high.

    Amazing experience, great vibe. The beauty and talent met our expectations. We were only there for music and a nightcap, so didn’t eat. The cocktails were good and the staff was great. Enjoyed the music. It may have been a couple of dollars over priced per cocktail. However, I will recommend this place and look forward to coming back again. My only complaint is they don’t require guests to follow their dress code. If you have a dress code, follow through. It was disappointing to see men in work and graphic T-shirts while the rest of us made the effort to meet their guidelines.
