Ate here multiple times during my stay at the hotel. Very attentive service, and good beer and bread is always a great start! I enjoyed the braised beef ravioli the most. Desserts were delicious too.

This place is wonderful! I got the fried Burrata and it was absolutely delicious. The food is very fresh and the portions are a good size. I also got the penne vodka and it was great. The banana tiramisu was so unique it did not have a coffee flavor but tasted more like a banana cream cake with a little caramel and cocoa powder.

I stopped in as it’s attached to the Westin hotel. The roasted beet 🫜 and goat cheese salad. It was quite delicious. I also have ordered the Rigatoni with meat ragu. It was just ok. Then for dessert I got the banana tiramisu to go that was pretty good and got a decaf cappuccino to go.

The happy hour was the highlight of my experience here, $5 drinks and super yummy and cheap apps. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the pistachio crusted whitefish sadly, it was lacking seasoning and flavor. The buttery mashed potatoes were fantastic, I’d come back for that happy hour though, all the items were soo good!!

Overall good food. Great service. Chicken was lemony and not super sour. Tasted great. The pasta platter along with stir fried veges was awesome.

The inside is spacious and very cute. Has very good ambiance for date night. We loved the parmagiano stuffed mushroom and mushrooms papardelle. However the gnocchi is too mushy and the rigatoni was undercooked.

Saranello’s has the right ingredients for a delightful dining experience! The ambience is lovely, food was great and the service could not have been better. Damon made the evening memorable with his knowledgeable and exceptional service along with fun conversation for us foodies!

Just celebrated our 32nd anniversary here on Thrs. It was our 1st time here. My husband ordered the lasagna and I had the chicken armando. We highly recommend both. Our server, Brittany, was attentive & took great care of us. Her recommendation of the Chateau Montellana chardonnay was spot on. I loved the rustic ambiance and appreciated that everything is made from scratch. We'll be back.
