    We had our family Easter lunch at Restarante Filippo and everyone was delighted with the experience. Food was great from beginning to end. The menu had a choice for all to enjoy. Even the picky eaters.

    We came to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary and my husband’s 61st birthday. Our waiter was very attentive without being intrusive. Our food was amazing as always and the service impeccable. We began with pomegranate martini and perfectly marinated crab claws. Our entrees were the Gamberi Galliano and the Ill Pesce Fresco of fresh fried Puppy Drum. Both were delicious and so filling. We love coming to celebrate family and life at your restaurant. Definitely a don’t miss dining experience.

    Wait staff was amazing. Since it was an intimate dining experience the noise level wasn’t bad.
