    MV is one of the best restaurants in the area for special occasions. Their food quality and service is tremendous. The menu selection is very large and if you cannot find it, they can probably make it for you. Their prices are high but that is why I only go there a couple of times every few months. Love the place and recommend this restaurant always.

    When we walked in on Christmas Eve the place was bustling! Everyone was super friendly and the restaurant was beautiful! The bar area was really nice with delicious drinks. Our waitress was great. We had a party of 7. Unfortunately our food had no taste. 4 of us ordered the shrimp and scallops with risotto. It was super bland and we were all so disappointed. My Son got the pork and he said it was Very spicy but good. Our 2 other people got the eggplant and said it was good. We wanted to love this place. Everything was perfect until we got to the food. The appys were just so so and the same for the desert. We will definitely try it again one night based on the friendliness of the owner and great atmosphere.

    Overall a delightful experience, however the advertised Christmas Eve event was $150 pp and was supposed to include “all taxes and fees”. In spite of this we were charged tax anyway, plus non-alcohol beverages plus tip. To make a long story short, $500 for dinner for me and my (minor) son with 1 glass of wine seemed a little excessive.

    The carbonara is my favorite pasta on the menu it did not disappoint. Had a chicken special which was also good. Regrettably it was really hot upstairs, and they don’t seem to be able to do anything about that. And I mean 79 degrees if the thermostat is to be believed. On a 20 degree night. Seems it is all one zone heat/AC.

    As usual, had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Ristorante MV! From the ambiance that’s warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of elegance and comfort to the staff that’s attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, ensuring every detail of our meal was impeccable…amazing. The food was phenomenal — each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The veal piccata was a standout, perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. Always get spicy rigatoni too! Ristorante MV is a true gem, offering an authentic and memorable culinary journey. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!
