    We had chicken parmigiana. It was unbelievably moist and tender, with a beautiful crisp around the edges. Generous portion, we both couldn’t finish it and had the leftovers for dinner the next evening - still mist and tender after a light microwaving. Delicious. The house salad was wonderful. Both the cacio e pepe and pasta with vodka sauce were delicious. Service was friendly, attentive, unobtrusive, and quick, anticipating our needs. Quietly elegant. Relaxing and pleasant. Not stuffy. Looking forward to returning with a bigger appetite to try some more adventurous entrees.

    We totally enjoyed our Easter dinner at Senti with our son. Holly did a great job of pacing our dinner service and shared her expertise in selecting wine. Chef Antonio prepared fantastic entrees --the rack of lamb was perfect medium rare, the paparadelle with wild boar ragu was very flavorful and the signature lasagna was perfect. Franco was such a gracious host and made our experience so much fun!

    It was our first time at Paris 66 last night, and we all enjoyed our meals in the lovely enclosed back patio with heaters on a chilly April evening. The service was great, and I thought my duck leg was the star of the show. Our only minor complaint was that we wished there had been more pommes frites with the mussels we shared as an appetizer for four. Would definitely return.
