This is our 3rd time dining at Exit 13. Perfection, as usual. Exit 13 has become our go to local restaurant. Authentic Italian gourmet selections that never disappoint.

I was there on Christmas Day evening. It was very busy and both the Kitchen and the front of the house did a really good job. My server was prompt and very attentive and my food arrived quickly and was hot and of good flavor yet I did not feel rushed. I live in the neighborhood and will definitely return.
