Always a great meal with fantastic service at this and all the Cecconi's locations that I have frequented worldwide. We were happy to get a table with a view and try some creative cuisine. The whipped ricotta with truffle was superb. I feel like a lot of restaurants have the same menus these days and the chef really puts his own spin on some basic items and really makes them mouth watering. Quite the enjoyable experience!

Pizza secret was a great find. Service was excellent. We were greeted immediately and our waitress was attentive. Taking our order in a timely manner and attentive. Food was delicious. Only thing I wish they did was add more sauce to their margarita pie. It was all dough and it really missed more sauce and something to dial up the flavor. Otherwise the rest of the meal was excellent (meatballs, rice balls, and the Americana pizza (which I highly recommend)).
