    We had a delicious meal and enjoyed extraordinary service from Kevin (our waiter). Best of all, the "price was right." The atmosphere was that of fine dining without be "fussy." Highly recommend Azzuro!

    This was a very disappointing experience, and I don't think that it was handled very well by the staff. I wanted to take my husband out for a nice dinner for Fathers day, and we decided to try Azzurro again. We had not been there in years. The restaurant looked nice and we had a quiet table, which is what I requested. I ordered the Shrimp Gazpacho as my appetizer and my husband ordered as salad. Both were delicious. For our Entree my husband ordered the Rockfish special, and I ordered the Bucatelli special, and this is where the problem began. Apparently, unbeknownst to the wait staff, there were 2 Bucatelli meals on the menu that night. I wanted the special, which had a red sauce and Italian Sausage, but when our dinner was served my dinner had a white cream sauce sauce with Pancetta (which I don't like). When it was put down in front of me, I told the waitperson that this was not what I ordered. He insisted that I this was what I ordered. I knew it was not. Finally, it was figured out and they had 2 Bucatelli dinners on the menu. I don't know why the waitstaff did not know this. They said that it would be out in 5 minutes, but it was not. So, 20 minutes later, when my husband finished his dinner, eating alone, my dinner finally arrived. No one in the restaurant even acknowledged that there was an awful mix up. So, on an evening when we were looking forward to a nice dinner together, my husband ate his dinner alone, and then I did. It would have been nice if one of the waitstaff would have offered to take his dinner back to the kitchen and keep it warm until my dinner was ready. But no one acknowledged that there was an error on the part of the restaurant. I would have expected that the Manager or someone would have come over and and apologized to us for the miscommunication of the waitstaff, and maybe even offered some concession for the mishap. I am very surprised how this was handled so poorly. I don't think that we will return to Azzurro.

    It was a great place to celebrate father’s day with the family. There are plenty of allergen-friendly options, and the portion sizes are great.

    Veal dishes are always so good. Portion size is nice enough that we can usually take home leftovers overs. Jenny, our waitress, was professional, charming and attentive. We always enjoy date nights at Azzurro’s!

    Always consistently delicious food. The specials were fantastic. We had the scallop appetizer plus the chicken and pasta special and the rockfish. All of the portions, very generous and cooked to perfection. Shannon, our server was outstanding, very helpful and attentive. All of the portions, very generous and cooked to perfection.

    The service was the highlight of the evening — our waitress was pleasant and attentive throughout. Unfortunately, the food didn’t match the same standard. I started with the caprese salad, which was overloaded with lettuce — an odd choice for a dish that traditionally doesn’t include it. It felt like an attempt to bulk up the plate and justify the higher-than-average price, but it compromised the simplicity that makes a caprese appealing. The veal piccata I ordered was tough and lacked the tenderness you’d expect. The menu itself feels outdated, both in terms of the recipes and the presentation. Most dishes were heavy-handed with sauce, masking rather than enhancing the ingredients. To top it off, the kitchen serves the same vegetable side with every entrée — a choice that comes across as lazy and uninspired, especially given the potential variety Italian cuisine offers. I also ordered a Manhattan served “up,” but the flavor and color were off — it tasted unbalanced and poorly mixed. Overall, while the service was commendable, the dining experience left much to be desired. A refreshed menu and more thoughtful preparation could go a long way in improving things.
