    Absolutely perfect! Our family was celebrating our son’s 23rd birthday and our daughter’s honeymoon. We opted for a “chef’s dinner” and the owner, Rob, went out of his way to warmly greet us, join our celebration, and make great recommendations, including amazing wine pairings. Everything was top notch - food, drinks, appetizers, desserts—what an experience!! Thanks to Della Santina’s…

    Delightful experience, so quaint and great service. Food was very good. Fish was a bit too salty for me to enjoy, but my husband loved it. And the desert was to die for!

    Enjoyed a lovely late lunch mid week at The Plaza Bistro on a beautiful warm day. Sat at table for two next to a window along street side with sliding window slightly opened. Felt like alfresco dining. We started with a bottle of sparkling wine along with their delicious crab cakes. Also, shared the Frito di Mare Salad, and enjoyed their Salmon Sandwich (with bacon! Yummy!!) with French Fries. Everything was delicious! Next visit, dinner. And, our waiter, Leo was so ever nice & sweet. Thank You!
