    At Diane's, the food, service and ambiance are always excellent. It's especially nice when the weather warms up and the deck is open, and to celebrate any special day.

    Had dinner at Alessandro’s last night to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I’d been wanting to eat here for a long time and we had a great time. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. My husband is hard to please when it comes to really good Italian food and he was very impressed. Looking forward to enjoying many more meals there.

    As usual, the staff was friendly and attentive. It was a busy night (Valentine's Day), but the service was still exceptional. I had the braised beef ravioli, and my wife had the spinach ravioli. Both were delicious. The polenta with fontina sauce appetizer was also wonderful. And their dessert special for the night - napoleon with sliced strawberries - was fantastic. From the staff to the food, Cassariano never disappoints.

    We loved it! Celebrated my sister’s birthday. Any “noise” likely came from the 4 of us I’m embarrassed to say. Generous portions. Delicious food. My brother-in-law said his soup was the BEST soup he’ ever had—and he is 78.
