    It was my birthday and they were so sweet prepared a little banner by our table and a card. That in of itself made me feel really good about our choice in going to Ofena. The food and drinks were great. We ordered the roasted persimmon for the appetizer which was wonderful. The mix of salty and sweet was great. We got two different mocktails which both were fantastic! For our entree we had the steak and gnocchi. The steak was divine. The gnocchi I found to be a bit salty, but also I’m not too partial to duck (my husband likes it more so that’s why we ordered it). The service was very friendly and attentive. We were seated somewhat seated near their events room and there was a large event happening so it was a bit noisy, but not too bad at all. I liked the holiday cheer that they brought. Overall had a great time at Ofena.

    The pasta was very good. We all had more than enough to eat. We had the pappardelle with Lamb Bolognese, Lasagna (very meaty), gnocchi and bucatini. We shared the endive, walnut and gorgonzola salad. We loved the panna cotta and the chocolate torte ( both with raspberry sauce. The service was Molto bene!
