    The wait is over for dining in the lower level of Parisi's. The food, service and ambience were just as wonderful as the "before times". We shared the arugula salad, gnudi and tortellini. It was the perfect amount for dinner for two leaving just enough room for their apple pastry for dessert. We are happy to have Parisi sotto back.

    Our server was fantastic, offering great recommendations on wine & food pairings. We shared many plates among five people & it all meshed nicely. Hoping to get back before the restaurant closes permanently in January.

    From the moment we walked in, we were met with huge smiles and greetings from the bartenders, the hostess and other staff members. That greeting was refreshing! We were fortunate to have Mohammed walk us through the menu, answer all of our questions, and return numerous times to check in, after our meal was delivered. The food was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The dishes were authentic, and delicious. It was nice to see all the staff, (including the owner) stop by to be sure we were enjoying our dining experience. We also loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. We will be making another reservation soon. Thank you, Terry and Deborah Utzinger
