    All of the pasta dishes were cooked perfectly and enjoyed to al dente perfection. We ordered 5 dishes -- Gnocchi di Patate (good, but was expecting really over the top and it wasn't); the bucatini, spaghetti de mare, lumache, and the casarecce, were all exceptional. The salad and frito misto were fantastic. The burrata was disappointing, in that it was a ball of burrata and there was nothing served with it (e.g., bread or cracker of something) to eat it. The vanilla semifreddo was the best dessert and the chocolate mousse was good. The budino was odd. The pinot grigio (Klaus Lensch) was great. The rose was so-so. Overall, a good night and an exceptional meal and experience.

    Always an incredible time at Oak & Reel. Our waiter Christopher, along with the entire staff, took very good care of us. Can’t wait to dine there again.

    We had a wonderful time! The 4 of us had the tasting menu with wine pairings. Started with grilled octopus (amazing) burrata (delicious citrusy and creamy) and fritto misto (fabulous and different from any other) Favorite pasta course was the bucatini. Favorite entrees of the table were the ribeye and the chicken. (Trying the sole next time we visit!) For dessert we had Bombaloni, vanilla semifredo, the chocolate mousse (our favorite) and the olive oil cake. The wine pairings were outstanding-the sommelier really made a great meal even better! Will definitely be back!!
