    First time dining at Imperatore despite having wanted to stop by several times. We were very pleased. The place is quaint and cozy. The service was fine but most importantly the food was very good. The Caesar salad lacked a smidge of salt but otherwise very good. The rigatoni was terrific as was the chicken saltimbocca. All in a very nice BYOB.

    Had a delicious birthday dinner on a quiet Friday night. Staff was friendly and helpful. Forgot it was BYOB- so make sure to bring your own wine. Recommend for a nice meal and will plan on going again soon.

    Once inside, this place is quaint and cozy. The staff are great and the food is delicious! The specials were plentiful in addition to the menu selections. Bronzino special was expertly prepared table side. Veal with mushrooms in cream sauce was delicious although veal a bit tough. Still enjoyed everything and will absolutely go again soon!

    This restaurant consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience. It is fine dining without the stuffiness of fine dining. The food is always outstanding, and the service is attentive and professional. Their creative specials add a unique flair to the menu, and as a BYOB establishment, it’s even more appealing. During our visit, I started with the Caesar salad, which was beautifully presented in a crispy, edible bread bowl—both visually impressive and absolutely delicious. I get this every time we dine here. We enjoyed the grilled calamari over arugula as a starter. Our entrees were rigatoni with a hearty red sauce with oxtail and my husband had the large rigatoni with pancetta in a robust red sauce. Each dish was expertly prepared and full of flavor. While we’ve always loved dining here, this visit felt slightly rushed. Only one minute after opening of wine, we were asked if we were ready to order. Despite that, we were able to pace our meal and still enjoy the experience. This remains a favorite spot of ours.
