Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Anthem

It was our Annual Office Christmas Party (and a birthday) so there were 8 of us. Jessica was our server and she was EXCELLENT! Everyone loved their food, we all shared the Casio E Pepe Arancini and the White Truffle Garlic Bread and they were delish as well. Can’t wait to return!

Dining at Trattoria Italia is like being transported to the real deal in Italy! There are so many authentic touches - from an incredible array of wines, real wood furnishings, servers with charming Italian accents, but most importantly, there is obvious pride in serving finest Italian cuisine! Their garlic knots are insanely fresh and delicious! Then for an opening appetizer we had the zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta and herbs, lightly breaded and fried. I wanted more but knew I wouldn’t have room for the entree! Once again we ordered the lobster ravioli - absolutely scrumptious! The sauce is just flat-out decadent! Our server, Rosella, was very gracious, and recommended their cannolis for dessert. We happily agreed! Rosella was unobtrusively attentive and helpful, yet we enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy a leisurely afternoon that felt like being in a trattoria in sunny Italy! We’ve been here before for dinner, when they have live musicians playing dinner music - so pleasant and enchanting! This is great neighborhood gem, and a wonderful place to bring any holiday guests if you’re running low on hostess ambition and stamina!

Always enjoy dining at Marinelli’s. Food was very tasty and served hot. Our server, Pedro is always a delight and shows care for the people he serves. Will return!

A very pleasant surprise! A much more relaxed atmosphere than most places nearby. Food was excellent; if you like brisket, try the Burnet Ends appetizer. Service was great; Nancy was attentive and pleasant. Definitely will return!
