    Last night, I tried the delicious (and perfect for a cold night) French Onion Soup and a glass of Pinot Noir. My husband loved the Herb-infused Pappardelle Bolognese. We are looking forward to the special New year's Eve dinner that Chef Esposito is creating.

    We love Cucina Alfabeto! Last night we tried the new (to us) tortellini. It was extraordinary in taste and gorgeously presented. This restaurant is a gem.

    Creative menu, each item we ordered was delicious! Ordered artichoke confit, arancini, house salad, smoked salmon and the risotto and crab pasta and an excellent Tuscan wine to accompany the meal. Wonderful service - shoutout to Veronica for the suggestions and attentiveness.

    Food was fantastic but a little overpriced. Timing of service was good. Our server was on the abrupt side. One of the diners was “appetizer shamed” into ordering a salad with their meal.
