Really enjoyed the food here on Mother's Day…read more Made a reservation for an early dinner online, for outside seating. Didn't think to check if they were honoring that given the holiday, since it turned out to be first come first serve no reservations. Inside reservations were being taken, there was a bit of a wait but it was well worth it. Our party of 3 ordered the octopus and an arugula salad as an appetizer. The octopus was divine - would come back for this specifically. We split entrées and ordered the short ribs, orrecchiette, and Chilean sea bass. Pretty big portions and the flavor to match! A huge kudos to the hostess up front, who navigated a pretty grumpy crowd with such grace. Understandably, it was a very busy day, and the restaurant was packed. We probably could've used a bit more attention from the waiter after we were seated, as we would've liked another cocktail, but overall a great experience. Looking forward to coming back.

I wish we had read the reviews prior to our lunch today. The service was terrible. We sat ourselves…read moreand took our own menus because there was no host to seat us. Ordering took forever and we waited even longer than forever for our meals to arrive. How long does it take to make salad? Then my dining partner received the incorrect salad. The waiter insisted it was the correct one. I was able to find a manager who after a long wait corrected the issue. There was no acknowledgment or apology, and the staff was uninterested in appeasing us. You'd get better service at McDonald's. The food was average the portions were ok ( the amount of salad dressing offered wouldn't even cover one leaf of lettuce) and the beautiful setting was ruined by the attitude of the staff. We will not be returning, nor should you!!!

Solid dinner experience at Lanni's!…read more My friend and I had tickets for a local play at 8:00 PM so we made a 5:30 PM reservation at Lanni's. To my surprise, by 6:00, this place was hopping! Classic and inspired cocktail list. Very Italian-forward. We pretty much ordered our appetizers and entrees off the specials menu, because why not? The prosciutto and melon was by far the best we've ever had. The beef carpaccio was melt-in-your-mouth amazing. The bolognese was heavenly, and the lava cake was sinfully delicious. Our server was a riot. Personable, efficient, and funny. He truly elevated our experience! The decor is beautiful. I love the wallpaper. Home run!

So I booked it for my wife's birthday and was excited to take her and our two kids. This is not a family friendly place. My kids are very well mannered and yet it seemed not welcomed there. Clearly you're under a ticking clock (1.5 hr limit)and the wait staff is impatient, the menu is dense which is great because there's a lot of interesting and unique dishes. But they don't give you time to understand and decide. We had soft shell crab, was very good, fried zucchini blossoms were decent but needed salt, the meatballs were good but needed salt. Pizza was good. I had the porchetta which was good. The squid ink pasta was solid. Wine was great value at $60 a bottle for all Italian wine. We had the Chardonnay and it was the highlight of the meal. But it was hard to enjoy it with the vibe that we somehow were imposing. Honestly it was all male servers plus the owner and I think a woman's touch for hospitality would go a loooong way here to help this place be more convivial. The weirdest and off putting ambiance thing is that they were playing country music which did not vibe with the joint at all. We didn't stay for desert, and glad we didn't.

Our party of 9 ordered 5 pies, calamari, onion rings, and salad. The sausage pie is special since they grind the sausage so that it is evenly distributed and you get it in every bite. The hot cherry pepper pie is spicy and not for the faint of heart but it is spectacular. The wait staff is experienced and attentive and especially friendly. Get there early because it's a smaller restaurant and it gets crowded, especially after their high, and well-deserved Bar Stool rating.

The pizza was OK although the crust wasn't as crispy as it been in the past and in fact it was a little soggy. The Caesar salad was limp, brown and slimy lettuce,. They packaged it together with a hot plate of calamari, which didn't help.As for the calamari it smelled like fish left on a hot dock in July at noon. I've been here many times over the years. I've never been so disappointed. Yet eating smelly, greasy calamari will stay in my trauma body for a long time.
