    My husband and I had dinner @ Alpana recently. First off, it is a beautiful restaurant! Service started out slow, but did improve a great deal. The food arrived as one would like and was hot. The food was ALL amazing. We had the Brussel Sprout Crostini for an appetizer. My husband ordered the Short Rib Bucatini and I had the Squid Ink Campanella. For dessert we ordered the Chocolate Mousse. It was so delicious. The Squid Ink Campanella, I will be dreaming about this dish. Make a reservation and go to this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.

    Lovely atmosphere and delicious food - wonderful way to celebrate my birthday! We sat in the heated patio and it was warm and comfortable. And the soft serve ice cream was the best ever.

    We visited Alpana for an early dinner on a Thursday night. It was not busy and the service was amazing. We were greeted with a card that wished us a happy anniversary and we received a sundae to share at the end. Our server was very knowledgeable about the wines served there and gave great recs on foods to try. We had the short rib buccatini and the squid ink campanella. Both were delicious. It’s a nice place for a date night.

    I booked here for my mom's birthday and they made her experience so special. They provided her a cute, birthday card from the restaurant. The staff was so friendly and helpful with food recommendations. We both ordered pastas and they were delicious. I also ordered a zero proof cocktail and it tasted great. The best part was that our server surprised my mom with a cute birthday dessert at the end. I highly recommend this place for the amazing service, delicious food, cool vibes, and the tasteful decor.

    Our neighborhood gem! Whether we want to share appetizers and pasta or enjoy our own dinners. The wine flight is always an enjoyable and creative combination too.
