    Delicious food, excellent service and a wonderful environment! We had the arancini, dolce eggplant, vodka rose and the bolognese pastas and loved every bite of food. The musical guests were amazing and created a magical atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!

    Wonderful dining experience. Sitting in the side alley was like dining in a small Italian village. Service was terrific, food was excellent and just a great all around experience.

    This was our second time at Dal Contadino Trattoria, and it did not disappoint. As an appetizer, I got meatballs and grilled octopus. The octopus was soft but not chewy and had a great favor. The meatballs were delicious, but you only get two in good size. Make sure you save some bread to dip into the sauce. As entrees, we got the Bolognese and Flounder. It was delicious. My Flounder was light but filling. On Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday they have a piano player who is entertaining. I can't wait to come back again.

    The food was okay. The linguine with clams was good but way too few clams for the money. Overall the food was nothing special. The service was awful. Only three of four of us had silverware. I asked several times for silverware, including several after the food was delivered. We then ran out of water at the table again asked multiple times for water and were ignored. Finally got the manager walking by and he made sure we got water. I understand they were busy, but make sure you have the staff to take care of your customers.

    Food is over priced, small portions and ordinary. Heavy on the salt. Branzino was nothing special and spices did not flavor properly. Will not return
