My fiancé and I decided to get out of our small town and visit the “big city” for a few days. Daniella’s was the one and only restaurant we considered after a few minutes of looking, to keep it short and sweet the staff, food, and aesthetic were everything to talk about. I recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area looking for something classy but accepting.
