Gabriella was an amazing server! She made my mother’s birthday an incredible experience and for my family members who had never been to Mastro’s before, they left there with nothing but great things to say. Food was of amazing quality. Thank you so much for a wonderful night.

The restaurant was great. The food was outstanding: an order of popovers to start, a roasted duck breast for me, a baked salmon for my wife left us so full we couldn’t get to dessert. The parking was a challenge and it was pretty noisy but our server, Martina, was attentive and friendly so we were very happy with the whole experience and will definitely be back
