    This was my second time dining here. My reservation was for the new room but we ended up in the regular part of the restaurant. Everything was great- service and ambiance. The food was delicious too! I will be back!

    We have eaten here many many times. The service is wonderful and attentive but not overly pesty. Meals have always been excellent. This last visit was no exception. I normally I would rate ambiance and volume differently because it is always lovely. But this time, we were unfortunately seating behind a large loud private party in their new room. Bad timing. This does not deter us from eating at this restaurant!! We will be back.

    We enjoyed an excellent dinner in the new room which was beautiful. The food was delicious and the staff was attentive but not overbearing. We will definitely be back.

    Service was painfully slow. Food was far from memorable. Overpriced for the quality of what you are getting.

    Ancona Bistro offers a limited menu but the food quality and service level are quite high. The calamari appetizer was fantastic as the calamari was very tender and the marinara sauce very tasty. The main course special was cavatelli with sausage and shrimp with a light white sauce. Also, very good!
