About Dario

Dario is a beautiful restaurant with a large space, offering different seating options and a decent bar area. The servers are knowledgeable and provide great service. The food is delicious, with standout dishes like the spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka, the Butternut Squash Scarpinocc, and the Short Rib and Polenta Agnolotti. The Doppio is a pleasant surprise—delicate yet flavorful, with ricotta and sunchoke working perfectly with honey, brown butter, rosemary, and hazelnuts. The ravioli is full of flavor and texture, unlike anything else. For pescatarians, the Crab Spaghetti is a must-try.

The ambiance is light and breezy, with just the right lighting, making it a cool and inviting spot. The restaurant is often packed, adding to the lively vibe, though it can get loud. The plating is beautiful, and the service remains consistently good from start to finish. The pasta dishes show the chef’s creativity and love for the craft. While portion sizes are small for the price, the overall quality and authenticity of the food make it a worthwhile experience. This makes Dario a great place for a special night out or to bring friends. Parking can be tricky, but the stellar pasta dishes and wonderful dining experience make it worth it. The salads, especially the kale and gem lettuce, are fresh and vibrant, perfect starters before a pasta feast. Although the desserts are just okay and didn't quite match the high standards of the rest of the meal, the overall experience is memorable and authentic.
