    Service was very uneven. Kitchen was backed up. Sat with dirty salad/app dishes for 20-30 minutes.

    We sat outside, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious! We had the octopus' appetizer, beat salad and various main dishes and all were good. The chocolate mousse was divine. Great value for the money.

    Awesome appetizer especially flatbread with arugula + prosciutto. The cocktail was spotted on. I tried Osso Bucco. I think it could have more savory but the ingredient was fresh and good quality veal. For dessert, both chocolate mousse and tiramisu were light and fluffy; right amount of sweetness.

    Our table of 5 enjoyed excellent freshly prepared entrees (shrimp ravioli, seafood risotto, veal piccata). Also fresh bread was delicious. It was the first dining experience at Pranzi for 4 of the guests who definitely will return again because the food, beverages, restaurant ambiance and table service were superb. Highly Recommended!
