    Wonderful restaurant with a friendly staff and good food. Service from Mike B was excellent. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. The braised beef short rib was excellent. Managers Dan and Ari stopped by to check on quality of food and service. We highly recommend Saranello’s

    All four if enjoyed everything we ate and found the food to be reasonably priced. The restaurant offers a nice and comfortable atmosphere and it’s easy to have a conversation and be heard across the table. We we surprised that with a 6:45 pm reservation and Italian restaurant would be out of minestrone. Service was slow. Waiter was not seen much and I Ordered a beer before the meal came and didn’t get it until just finishing the meal.

    Service was friendly but slow. It took almost 15-20 min before the server gave us water after he seated us. Then more wait after he took our order. The food was tasty and we all had a good time overall. I would return but hopefully you have more staff available in future.

    We came for a birthday celebration. We were warmly greeted by Joanne! She is wonderful! Our server was Austin. First time we had him and hopefully we will get him again!! We were there for lunch. We had a couple of orders of eggplant parm. So tasty and it melts in your mouth. Also had chicken parm with pasta. Also delicious. All lunch portions were large. We also had side salads which also were large. One was a caesar salad. This had too much pepper to our liking. The other house salads were excellent; a great variety of ingredients. Fresh warm crusty bread comes with the lunches. We went through multiple baskets! Desserts came with the meals. The Creme Brulee was a great ending to a great meal. They also gave a piece of chocolate, fudge cake to the birthday person. This was yummy! Thank you Joanne and Austin for making this a lovely and delicious birthday celebration!

    Everyone in our party of enjoyed the dining experience we had at Saranello’s. We were greeted politely upon entering and seated immediately with our OpenTable reservations. The food was very good and served in large portions. Our server Mike B was very friendly, professional and accommodating. Managers Dan and Ari stopped by to check on our satisfaction. We highly recommended Saranello’s restaurant!

    Gave it another try but now it’s definitely off our list of places. It seems every time we go there is some dance competition next door and they take over the restaurant. I don’t know if they don’t have enough staff in the kitchen or what but everyone is running around like they are overwhelmed. Service is slow & the food was average. When it first opened we really liked it but it’s gone down. It’s busy but not sure with how many locals or it’s mostly the hotel. Seems like some of the Lettuce restaurants need to make some improvements. Starts with management!

    Surprised, but LOVED that all wine bottles were 1/2 price on a Friday night! Food was delicious (I had and would recommend lobster ravioli) and our server Maryna was very friendly and very attentive - didn’t have to wait for or want anything! Brought tasty little chocolate cake pieces with candles for our two hubby’s birthdays 👍🏻

    The supper club menu is the best. It is so much better than Restaurant Week! I just wish Lettuce would permanently remove that 3% service charge!
