    We tried Azzurro for our anniversary, and our evening could not have been better. Starting with creative and delicious cocktails, appetizers including a lovely lobster bisque, we enjoyed every bite and had the kind of dinner we enjoy most - never rushed but very attentive and personal service by Stephanie, as well as being welcomed by others mentioning our anniversary. The restaurant has a beautiful ambience, nice music that sets the tone but doesn’t overpower like too many nice places these days, with well prepared entrees (a seafood risotto and a filet with small lobster tail). We enjoyed a nice glass of wine with our meal and finished with perfect cappuccinos and shared some gelati for a light dessert. We would highly recommend Azzurro for a romantic or special evening, but we will be back to enjoy the location on the lake and other offerings that sounded equally delicious. A new favorite for us.

    We normally love North Italia. They put us in a back room where there were several parties celebrating birthdays and such so it was very, very loud but like I said not our typical experience. We had a reservation, so I felt like more consideration in seat selection could have taken place, but otherwise, food & service were great.
