    It was our first Christmas Eve in town, and we wanted a quaint and local place with amazing food. We haven't been to Back Burner in some a couple years, but in my search, I noticed they were open for C.Eve. I made us reservations right away. It was the perfect place for our Christmas Eve dinner. The menu was a special holiday selection, so it was simple, but still had a nice variety of options to satisfy any taste we had (from steak to seafood to pasta). The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Not only will we return, but we would spend our holiday here again if the opportunity arose. Thank you for taking such great care of us!

    The restaurant was packed on a Monday night, with good reason. The food and service are great, with a focus on the local mushrooms, and the ambience is warm and welcoming. We will absolutely dine here again, and easily recommend it to anyone looking for great Italian food in Kennett Square.

    Emily was amazing! She brought the little things requested that many servers forget like lemons and water. Super efficient and consistently great all the way around.
