Our server was wonderful. She was very attentive, patient, and kind - one could ask for more. My only concern was how high many of the items were.

Lunch with a friend We share the same birthday in March, so we did a late celebration. We both have eaten at Saranello’s many times and today’s lunch was quite nice. Randi our server gave us excellent service and was most amiable. Very professional. We both ordered lunch specials which gave us a cup of soup and a mini dessert with our main courses. I had the Shrimp Diavola over linguini and my friend had Chicken in a pesto sauce over fusilli. I also had a 6 oz pour of a nice Washington Cab. Prices have gone up at restaurants so expect to pay high teens into the twenties for a plate of pasta and $15 and up for a glass of vino. With that in said, it was a lovely lunch with a long time friend.
