    All around wonderful experience. We had a reservation at 8:00 but found our schedule changed a bit and we hoped to eat earlier. We stopped by the restaurant at 6:30 to see if they could seat us sooner, and they prepared a table for us right away. At the same time, I heard another guest ask the host how soon they could be seated without a reservation, and she was told the wait was 90 minutes! We felt like VIPs! The service, the food, and the ambience were all incredible. Our water glasses were never empty. Our food was delivered in the ideal time. Everything was delicious. We love the family-style menu that let all of us share and taste several entrees. The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had. We look forward to returning!

    Becco never disappoints! Celebrated 2025 with an amazing meal. We all had the Sinfonia di Paste with Caesar salad. Pastas today were: rigatoni with tomato & basil, Semolina Gnocchi alla Romana and fettuccini with veal bolognese & peas. The dishes were absolutely delicious! We shared the Panna cotta for desert.
