Wonderful experience! We brought our party of six to Saranello's for dinner on a Saturday evening. We were seated immediately with our OpenTable reservations. The hostess Liz was very pleasant and accommodating. Everyone including 2 children absolutely loved the food. We ordered the Arancini special and they were amazingly delicious. Our server Mike B is the best in the business. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. One of the managers Ari stopped by our table to say hello and check on our satisfaction. All six of us highly recommend Saranello's
Check your receipt for extra food/dessert charges!! Once I brought this up to our server, he was dismissive. The event manager had to intervene on his behalf. The server never provided an apology which would of gone a long way. Despite the great food, the experience was not what we expected since we have dined there in the past.
Our waitress was fantastic and food outstanding. It was a great way to celebrate my daughter's birthday
Food was superb.... Marina , our sever was so sweet and attentive! Prices not out of line. Affordable! One of my favorites!
Excellent brunch! So grateful they had valet parking which was complimentary, I provided the attendant with $20.00 gratitude. Highly recommend this establishment! Thank you
Jo, the hostess is always there to greet you with a smile. We come in about 2 times per month, and she always remembers me by name and offers a friendly hug, and a welcoming personality.
Our party of 4 were sat immediately with our OpenTable reservation. The host stand was very professional and accommodating. This was our first brunch at Saranello's. The variety of food was amazing along with a beautiful presentation. Made to order omelets are a must. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food tremendously. With little room to spare we found ourselves at the dessert table. The display was amazing along with the variety of desserts. Our server Mike B made our brunch experience even better. He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the brunch menu. Managers Dan and Kobie stopped by to say hello and check on our satisfaction. We highly recommend Saranello's for a delicious brunch.
I cannot review the food because we did not stay long enough to eat. I was greeted by a mute hostess with a scowl on her face. She did not address me and seemed aggravated when I asked for a table for 3. Get over yourself. You work in hospitality. Act like it or find a new job —- preferably somewhere in the kitchen where you don’t have to interact with the public. To the manager, please dismiss her of her duties. This happened on Saturday 10/19/24 approximately 615 pm. To add insult to injury we were sat at a high top table. We asked if we could get a different table and the gentleman who sat us gave my husband a snotty reply. Wow. Train your people better Saranellos. Lastly we conceded to a high top table until we realized we were sat at a dirty previously used table and my son’s glass of water had a lip stain on it. No apologies. Nothing. Do better.

The food tasted great, but not outstanding. Prepared well. Everyone in our party of six was happy with their meal. We sat outside, so I didn't get the feel of the inside atmosphere. Server was knowledgeable. Total of $77 for us two, w/glass of wine. Worth patronizing if you're willing to spend. Pictured is my eggplant Parmesan, which was great. Lemon chicken and ravioli. Deserts were average.
Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible.

We went here for our 8th anniversary and the service and food was amazing! Bobby was our server and he was attentive, bubbly and gave great recommendations. I appreciated the fact that he even told us what menu items he enjoys but may not work for us based upon the questions we asked. The Chicken Pesto was rich and creamy, I requested it spicy and the kitchen added the perfect amount of red pepper flakes. The lobster ravioli tasted like a delicious deconstructed lobster bisque. The ambiance was the right amount moody and classy without feeling stuffy, we will absolutely be back!
Dietary restrictions: There were plenty of gluten free options.

One of the best dining experiences we’ve had with a big party. Food was amazing, wine was amazing and Damon was probably the best waiter we’ve had in years. Highly recommend this place

More to be desired. The Atmosphere and our server were exceptional however the food really could use some improvements.
The Good:
Sara's Prime Beef Meatballs - REALLY good home-style meatballs to start the evening dinner. Marinara sauce compliment the meatball/grated cheese very well with a bit of sweet and tangy.
Banana Tiramisu - rich, creamy, and defined layer. Everything you could possibly be asking for. Pair well with the housemade coffee to finish the evening.
Could use some improvement:
Old fashioned - was a big let down, the drink came filled with small ice cubes (like the one you get from grocery stores) and melted almost instantly after 2 sips. And the orange peel was replaced by a cubical slice of orange which took up about 2/3 of the drink.
Shrimp Diablo Linguine - love the spicy tomato sauce, very uniquely combined garlic, spicy pepper and basil together. And it compliment the linguine and shrimp very well. HOWEVER, the shrimp was very chewy (way over cooked) and didn't have the freshest taste to it. Granted, spicy sauce covered up a lot of taste, but it unfortunately made the chewy texture even more noticable.

We recently celebrated my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary at Saranello’s, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the entire experience. From the start, the event planners were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the event, Jose and Emily went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We never felt rushed, and Emily even helped us take our group photos, which meant so much to us! The food was absolutely stellar, and the service was top-notch. If you’re looking for a venue to host your special event, look no further—Saranello’s is simply the best!
Dietary restrictions: My aunt required a change due to dietary issues and they were more than happy to accommodate the request.

Dinner on Friday was exceptional !! Our server , Sara , was the best part of our experience. She was so knowledgeable, patient and had such a great personality. Everything we ate was outstanding . We recommend the stuffed peppers for an appetizer. For dinner we had the homemade lasagna, chicken Parmesan, homemade cheese ravioli , and the meatballs (Wow!) !! All around an outstanding evening.
