    Ambience is beautiful! Started with the whipped feta and truffle honey. Sourdough was just ok. Pistachio pesto was very good 9/10. Cresti di gallo alla grappa w/sausage 8/10 pasta was cooked perfectly tomato sauce was flavorful. Double cheeseburger was 10/10 a little over cooked though. Fries were delicious! Jalapeño Mezcalita for drinks-so good. Great date night spot. Highly recommend.

    Our dinner at Alpana was one of the very best that we have enjoyed in the past few years. This is high praise since we travel often and eat at fine restaurants frequently. All of the food was delicious and served beautifully. Service was attentive, unrushed and timely. The atmosphere is lovely without any issues of crowding. We have already reserved again for two weeks from now!

    Incredible experience from beginning to end! The decor is spectacular. Our server John was the best server we’ve ever had at any restaurant. He was so helpful, kind, and a true host of our evening, guiding us in a comfortable and expert way to ensure we had the best experience. He was also so kind to my six year old daughter, making her feel right at home as well. Truly delightful!
