    Nicole was a fabulous server that encouraged and guided us to make wonderful choices. Wine selection is always a fun experience here with different options. The pasta dishes are especially delicious. This is currently one of my favorite spots for dinner or drinks.

    Very comfortable setting and ambiance. Arugula salad was amazing. Short rib bucatini was quite good, excellent sauce and ricotta combo. Wish they could cook the pasta al dente, and not for the geriatric set. Short rib on polenta was amazing. Side of broccolini was also overcooked and soft - skip that. Key lime pie was perfect, tart and limey.

    Alpana made for an excellent celebration dinner for my and my fiancée's proposal! The foliage and soft lighting in the evening made for a charming and fairly intimate ambiance, and the food was just delicious — we got the vodka and pesto pastas, as well as an excellent peppermint sundae. We enjoyed the complimentary non-alcoholic "wines" for the celebration too! On top of all that, the prices were impressively reasonable given the quality they provided, adding up to a very rewarding visit.
