    The food was fair. Not good enough where we feel the need to go back. We thought it would be much better. Great ambiance and low noise level. Super cute in the front porch.

    My wife, son and I had an early dinner at Daniela Ristorante on a recent Sunday afternoon. There were only a few other diners at first in this attractive converted row home, but more started arriving later. The food and service were excellent. We began with tagliere for the table, a selection of cured meats, some cheese, fine greens and olives, along with focaccia. It was a good starter. I also ordered a cup of zuppa di granchio, a tomato based crabmeat soup. It was delicious. The broth was very light and well-seasoned, with lots of crab meat, but without vegetables. For mains, my son had scialatielli ai frutti di mari, handmade pasta with seafood in a tomato based sauce, which had been recommended by a neighbor. My wife had saccotini di granchio, ravioli stuffed with crab and shrimp, and I had sogliola alla mugnaia, pan-seared flounder with tomatoes and asparagus. The flounder was flaky and moist, and the sauce and asparagus complemented it perfectly. My son and wife said their dishes were delicious. The wine list is varied and reasonably priced; my son enjoyed his Cannonau "pico del sole" and I my Vermentino "le giare". Although the portions were large, there was room for dessert: fruttini, panna cotta with raspberry purée, and cannoli al cioccolato, accompanied by cups of macchiato. Our server was helpful and attentive, providing information about the menu and the wine selections. This was our first visit to Daniela, and we hope to return.

    While the food was good, our waiter was not at all attentive. For the prices, I would have expected much better service.
