Amazing food experience. The pasta was simple but so good. Homemade pasta. I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Great restaurant.
This restaurant is top tier for Italian cuisine. The food was absolutely amazing, well cooked and extremely flavorful. The service was amazing. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the outdoor seating is cute
This restaurant is a must, they have inside and outside seating, inside it's very cozy and well appointed providing a wonderful atmosphere. You must try the lasagna which is very unique made with short rib and a special gravy that is out of this world, it's not on the menu so ask for it. All of the dishes are great and the service is very good, we had as our server Olivia and she couldn't be any more amiable.
We went for the burger night but were told they were sold out. It's ok our server was sweet and we ended up having a great time! We had chicken parmigiana. It was yummy and love the use of real tomatoes. Our pasta was very hearty. The pappardelle bolognese made up for not having a burger. We love the old hits that were playing in the background. Cute place with good Italian food. We celebrated my birthday dessert with the banana bread pudding. It was a unique take and good!
The food was extravagant and delicious and came in such good condition and quality. It is also affordable. The service of this restaurant was impeccable,providing,fast, and they served with hospitality. The ambiance which is the character and atmosphere of a place, really suits the theme which is Italian. It feels snug,welcoming,pleasant,secure, and i felt at-ease. The restaurant is also very kid friendly if you have any kids and if you would like to bring them.This is the best restaurant that is both affordable and extravagant.
My go to spot and the perfect complement to mass at the beach! The bartenders are so knowledgeable and can whip up so many different delicious cocktails! I like to go right when they open and you have the best service, things are peaceful and quiet and no wait! I usually go for the stracciatella cheese with prosciutto and arugula which is so delicious, marinated eggplant and generally an espresso martini! Check them out!
We had an absolutely wonderful date night at Macchialina! I've been wanting to try Macchialina for ages, and we finally got the opportunity. It caught my eye months before, when I happened to be walking by and saw all of the tables full and lining the sidewalk. I thought based on how full the restaurant was, it must be good! These sidewalk tables were what I had been thinking all along were the "patio tables", but man was I mistaken! We reserved a patio table on a Sunday evening, and we were led to our table through this gorgeous and seemingly enchanted back patio away from the sidewalk and passersby. You'd never know it was there! It's covered in case of weather and has a cozy and romantic ambiance to it. We were promptly greeted by our attentive server and ordered a bottle of wine. Their wine selection is vast - many regions, varietals, and prices. All of the food we got was excellent. We started with a meat and cheese plate which our server assisted in making recommendations for. This came with these puffed rolls, which were fluffy and moist, very different from your typical dinner roll in the best way! We also ordered the polenta as an appetizer, but this ended up coming out after our entrees, so it was more of a side dish. It was super creamy and had big chunks of mushrooms in it. For entrees, we ordered a lasagna that was on special and the Tagliolini with the truffle add-on. Both dishes were AMAZING but on the smaller side. Macchialina doesn't seem to be one of those restaurants where you get a massive bowl of pasta, but rather, in true Italian fashion,the pasta is a smaller first course followed by an entree. The lasagna had so many layers and a great flavor. The truffle add-on to the Tagliolini was expensive ($45) but well worth it and plentiful! It was a hearty portion of black truffle, and it added immense flavor to the dish. The truffle add-on is only available for certain dishes, which I liked because it shows the restaurant takes care and consideration into where it will compliment best, rather than just dumping it onto anything and everything. For dessert we got the banana bread pudding which was served with what looked like ice cream, but upon tasting it was not ice cream but rather a cream of sorts. Very delicious and decadent, perfect sharing size! I loved Macchialina and thought it totally lived up to the hype. Despite our polenta not coming out at the appropriate time, I still think they're deserving of five stars, and I can't wait to go back.
We had a wonderful time at Macchialina. Highly suggest sitting outside. It's gorgeous. We really loved the ambiance. The service was impeccable. They allowed our dog to come. The best part was definitely the food. The cavatelli macchialina is one of the best Italian American dishes I've ever had. The chicken parm was fine. Nothing special. We also really liked their take on tiramisu. We'll definitely be back.
Beautiful space with great outdoor/patio seating - perfect for a lovely dinner! We knew when there were many groups waiting for the restaurant to open at 6pm, we had done well to make a Resy - but also tables filled up quickly short after! We enjoyed our meal - especially the Polenta (creamy homey goodness) and the Chicken Parmesan (which tastes super fresh with the tomatoes, kind of like a bruschetta). Make sure to leave room for dessert - which looked allll so delicious but we were too full!
