We were delighted with the exceptional food we enjoyed at Madrina! The appetizer of ricotta cheese, toasted bread and honey sounded simple, but was so delicious. We also enjoyed our entrees, a pasta with shrimp, artichokes, and tasty cream sauce, and pollo Marsala. Both entrees were outstanding. Our server was pleasant and helpful, offering a taste of the wine before we ordered it. The service all evening was great. We can’t wait to go back!

Food was excellent and service of high quality. People seated after us were served before we were, which was strange. Perhaps it was because there were 6 of us and only two of them. But it was the same waiter who facilitated that timing. I found that annoying but his efforts on other fronts was very good.
