    Absolute perfection. My fiancé and I went here after I proposed to her and it was perfect. They made it feel special, comped a champagne toast and dessert, congratulated us. Food was amazing, ambience is perfect, and the staff so friendly. Cannot recommend enough!

    Had a wonderful experience at Boucherie. We were seated immediately at a wonderful table with a view of the decorations and the restaurant. The wait staff was very helpful and friendly. The food we ordered was amazing and the prices not astronomical. For the quality of the food and the overall experience it was appropriately priced.

    We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, Tartufata, and Margherita Pizza, and each dish was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Also, Nutella calzone was so tasty. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The outdoor seating is a standout feature, offering a cozy and charming ambiance, especially during the Christmas season with all the festive decorations. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal while soaking in the holiday spirit. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the atmosphere!
