Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Cherrywood/Upper Boggy Creek

The dinner experience at Juniper was perfect. Jordan helped with every food decision and wine pairing of the night. Every aspect of the meal was magnificent and service to match.

Amazing food, with fabulous service. Innovative dishes pairing great flavors. And wonderful chocolates for dessert!

It was a very cute restaurant. The truffle cheesy garlic bread is the best Italian food appetizer I’ve ever had, and the drinks were really good.

Our dinner last night was so lovely. We're parents of a toddler so we don't get out much. We had a babysitter and decided to use a gift card for one of our past favorite restaurants. Everything was absolutely delicious. We started with the rosemary sourdough bread with butter, escarole and Frisee salad, and Polpette meatballs. The bread has a great flavor and good texture. Every aspect of the salad was incredible - the dressing, the grapefruit, the honey Aleppo almonds. And the Polpette were some of the best meatballs I've tried. We really enjoyed the chicken milanesa and the black pepper Pappardelle dish had amazing texture (all their pastas are made in-house) but I feel could have had a more interesting flavor. I had really wanted to try the Tiramisu, one of my favorite desserts, but we were so stuffed. All the wine and cocktails were tasty. We sat on the patio since we wanted to order off the A la carte menu but it was so quiet and dead outside. Some music or something piped outside might have been nice. We used to frequent L'Oca d'Oro before the pandemic and before having kids, but we hadn't been back since Fall 2019. I was happy to see the ways in which the restaurant pivoted during the pandemic and all that they have done to care for their employees, very admirable. Overall, we really loved our meal and we will happily be back!

What a beautiful spot, with EXCELLENT food, wow. I took my team of 7 there and we ordered all the things, including apps (the grilled cauliflower!!), pastas galore (they also offer GF options), and 3 different desserts - everything was fantastic, you won't be disappointed.
