We had a great dinner. The food was great the service was great and the ambiance was nice. I would highly recommend. It wasn't crowded at all but we were there on a Tuesday night.

Ristorante Imperatore is a fantastic upscale restaurant that offers delicious food at a great price. My personal favorite is the Garganelli Pesto with Shrimp, paired with a fresh Caesar salad—both are outstanding! The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable.

I have to say that I was a little disappointed with the food overall. We had some good dishes and a few that were lacking. The Calamari, Tortellini and Sacchetti were delicious. However the Lamb Meatballs and the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Crabmeat lacked flavor and the Oysters Rockefeller were really dry. Desserts were delicious and we had a very nice time even though there were a few disappointments.
