In general, Saranellos has gone from Great to just Good. They have reduced their menu, removing so much of the variety - especially the dishes that make it an Italian restaurant. Now half the menu you can get at any Lettuce restaurant. I. Sorry to see this restaurant suffer the same degradation as most Lettuce Entertain You restaurants since the pandemic. Prices are up significantly and they charge an uplift for employee benefits that a large company like that should be able to afford. I think it’s time to start looking elsewhere.

This was our first time at Seranello’s. It was very good and reasonable. Will go back again. A real highlight though was Michael, the valet. He was very friendly. It was a very cold night. When he drove our car up he had put the seat warmers on. Which I thought was a great touch.
