We came on Thursday night and felt at home. Incredible service from Tano, Daniel, Braydi, and Oswaldo. They ensured we had the best attention during our amazing dinner. The food is to die for as well as the wine and desert!!! I highly recommend you come in if you are looking for a luxurious experience!!!
Absolutely exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was refreshingly amazing warm, attentive, and genuinely caring in a way that’s rare to find these days. I was craving a classic carbonara, even though it wasn’t on the menu, and without hesitation they offered to make it for me. That alone speaks volumes. And let me tell you… it was phenomenal. Rich, perfectly balanced, authentic, and made with so much care easily one of the best carbonaras I’ve ever had. Every single server was exquisite: attentive without hovering, knowledgeable, kind, and truly passionate about what they do. You can feel the pride they take in both the food and the experience they create for their guests. This wasn’t just a meal it was hospitality at its finest. I’ll be thinking about this place for a long time and can’t wait to return. Highly, highly recommend.
I Absolutely love this restaurant. Food is always on point and service is amazing ! I have been here quite often and their specials never disappoint ! The wine selection is great and their appetizers are delicious!
Outstanding dining experience! We started our dinner with a lentil and legumes soup. Following that I’ve ordered the ravioli ossobuco in which the traditional pasta shape in filled with a very tender braised ossobuco meat coated in a rich sauce and topped with sauted shrimp. Simply delicious! My companions ordered the veal Marsala which had a very fragrant and tasty Marsala sauce and the Red snapper paired with veggies which was very tender and also wonderful. The portions were very generous. Our wine choices were Treviso Prosecco and Costa de Bussia Barolo and just made the dinner even more pleasurable. We topped our dinner with a strawberry zabaioni. The staff’s service was excellent, courteous, knowledgeable and very friendly and we really give kudos to the management and its team for providing us with an unforgettable dining experience! Highly recommended!
This restaurant never fails to deliver. The food is exceptional. The people here are fantastic. And they have a great wine list!. Definitely a restaurant to go to!
The food is delicious. That said, if you enjoy waiting 1:30 hrs for food, then this is your place. We were the first table to be seated for dinner, yet it took way to long. By the time food came, we were very hungry and the portions aren't that big.
This is our go to neighborhood authentic Italian experience restaurant. Service is always fantastic, food quality has never failed, and their specials are constantly being tweaked and given special attention so you don’t get bored with the standard menu although plenty of options on the standard menu as well. Great wine selection and value for the quality of the food and service. Won’t disappoint!
7 people for dinner at 6:00, best time to go. By 7 pm the place got busy. Great service, delicious food, a bit pricier than expected.
Great food at a very reasonable prices. The staff is always very hospitable and gracious. Love Cafe Puerto Fino !!
I came here for my friend’s birthday on Wednesday last week. The place itself looked like a small spot from the outside but once inside it felt warm, cozy and nicely decorated. We were immediately welcomed and seated right away. The attention from the staff was great. The server said happy birthday to my friend as soon as we sat down. I also loved how everyone who was leaving the restaurant, would say bye to us. It felt like we were all friends. They also played music that made the environment more welcoming. As an appetizer, we tried the fried calamari. From the moment they brought it to the table and I smelled it, I knew it was going to taste good. And I was right. The calamari was big and delicious. It’s the best and freshest calamari I’ve had. To eat, I tried the Risotto Dolce Vita and it was phenomenal. The shrimp that it came with were big and tasty. All the flavors from the dish combined very well together making this dish the best risotto I’ve tried. When it was time for dessert, the staff sang happy birthday to my friend as they brought a chocolava. They wrote happy birthday on the plate, which I thought it was nice detail. The chocolate cake was warm and moist and it paired very well with the vanilla ice cream. I absolutely loved my experience here and I plan to return.
