    Fun outdoor venue especially when the weather is good. Easy to order, food is ok but nothing special. Ordering is easy for a group as each person can order and pay on their phones. Relaxing atmosphere for a fun evening out. Trivia was a fun bonus for us tonight!

    First time dining at Azzurro and I will return. The service was excellent and so was the food. The portions were substantial. I had the lamb chops and there were 4 with the serving in addition to the sides (spinach, potatoes and sautéed mushrooms).

    Greeted with a welcoming smile. Service was nice and attentive without being overly so. Food was excellent. Had the pork chop which was perfectly done. Wines by the glass were well curated with some different and interesting choices in both white and reds. Highly recommend!

    One can’t really go wrong with pizza but the fact there were premade choices for everyone AND the option to build your own - even VEGAN - was amazing. Food was delicious and we loved the crust options; will try the BELLLA next time.
