This was my first time eating in Saranello‘s and I was very pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. The food portions were not large, but enormous! The bread and dipping oil we’re a delicious starter with our wine. My friend and I split a small Caesar salad and we couldn’t even finish it. I chose chicken with lemon and capers for my entrée and she ordered chicken Parmesan. Both were tender and very tasty. Looking forward to going back and trying some of the fresh pastas on the menu. The service was polite and helpful and the ambience pleasantly calm.

Slow service; good scallop special; lasagna was a gloppy mess on the plate, but good tasting. Very good bread and Caesar salad. Minestrone soup was good but barely a cup given. Very small portion for the price.

The food was amazing. Unfortunately we felt extremely rushed. No sooner did we order our appetizer, then our salads came along with our entrees. I wish I could give a great review but I fell this is important and something they need to address. Please slow down and let people enjoy their dining experience.

We haven't been to the brunch in a few years, but we decided to return for a birthday celebration. The overall restaurant has good ambience, the buffet is set up well, and the staff are very attentive. There is a nice meat carving station and a range of entrees, salads, breakfast foods, veggies and desserts. Unfortunately, many of the hot entrees are extremely dry and also the cakes and cookies. The mini sliders were excessively dry/overcooked. French toast pieces had a good flavor, but again, were overcooked and also hard. And, these were two of the things the birthday celebrant had been looking forward to enjoying (from past experiences). Breaded chicken was also dry. Desserts looked appealing but cakes and even cookies were dry/overbaked. Even the chocolate cake piece that was brought out for the celebrant was dry. Price has gone up and is now $43/person and there is an additional service charge which should have ended with the pandemic. While Mimosas are included as well as omelettes and 2 kinds of eggs Benedict (made to order), the value is no longer there, especially with the poor quality in many items included in the buffet.
