Violino Ristorante Italiano is a family-run Italian restaurant that has been delighting diners for years. The original owner, now retired, still advises and helps with the restaurant, which is now run by his son. The restaurant is known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, with the owner sometimes serenading guests with birthday and anniversary songs. The ambiance is very cozy, elegant, and reminiscent of old world dining, creating a charming environment for all visitors.
The menu at Violino features a variety of delicious Italian dishes, including a creamy spinach soup that is a chef's gift to all guests. The veal and shrimp dish and the ravioli special have both been praised for their excellent flavors, although the ravioli pasta was slightly overcooked in some cases. The red house wine is also a hit, with a smooth and full-bodied taste. Meals are made fresh to order with locally sourced products, ensuring high quality and authentic flavors.
Customers have noted the restaurant's beautiful atmosphere, with artwork that transports them to Italy and a talented violinist who plays without being overbearing. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, providing outstanding service. Guests often mention the great variety of food choices and drinks, making the experience even more enjoyable. The chef sometimes serenades tables, and there is often a violin player who performs incredible music, adding to the elegant and cozy setting.
Overall, Violino Ristorante Italiano is a gem of a restaurant, offering a truly authentic Italian dining experience with delicious food, warm service, and a charming ambiance that makes it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. If your dining experience does not transport you to Italy, the owners and staff will be very disappointed.
