Gocciolina is a great option for anyone seeking top-notch Italian dishes. Serving handmade pastas, cocktails and delicious specials, this restaurant is sure to delight. If you’re craving something sweet after dinner, you won’t have to go far. Gocciolina also serves gelato and cannoli for dessert.
We have visited twice now. Once for Valentine's a few years ago and recently for our 8th wedding anniversary. There is a menu, but it is limited because they create the menu that is on the chalkboard. Everything has been delicious that we have tried. This time around, the cheapest bottle of wine was $46. The last time, there was a Montepulciano for $28. The Puglia we got was very good and paired well with our food. You can't go wrong with their Burrata to start. I always get pasta because I want pasta when I go for Italian. Therefore, I got the eggplant and roasted red pepper ravioli and sautéed swiss chard and garlic. 4 huge homemade ravioli and the chard was perfectly cooked and not mushy. Husband got the yellow fin tuna medium rare with cucumber and onion salad and brussel sprouts. The sprouts were charred with a good mix of spices and salt. The tuna was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. We finished with the chocolate torte, ice cream (can't remember the name) and I had an espresso martini. Rich and chocolatey! Rhe martini was perfect - nit too sweet, good espresso/vodka mixed flavor. We did spend ~$200 with tip,, but that's not terrible for all we had and an anniversary. Make a reservation and go!

Food was good but although they didn't have any chicken dishes on the menu. The menu is not very big. The dessert was really good. They don't have any soda on tap except in small bottles (Mexican coke).

Have been to Gocciolina several times. First time reviewing. The main restaurant has a cozy environment. Seems like they have added additional formal seating in the area that was previously a waiting area where you could grab a drink and eat in an informal setting.
The food overall is good, but it seems like portions are getting smaller.
It seems the service and attentiveness of the wait staff is dependent on how busy the restaurant is that night.
Would definitely recommend this place.

The food is delicious, and the staff are very friendly and efficient. Aaron is the owner and head chef, who trained in Italy for two years. Many ingredients are sourced locally.

Party of three for dinner. Appetizers were Okay, I ordered spaghettini botarga, awful! First arrived a little cold and without the botarga!! Halfway eating it I realized this, since it also came with bread crumbs I confuse them… they added the botarga later and the spaghetti were cold!!! The other two plates were average (risotto funghi and ravioli with eggplant)

I had a lovely experience when I visited this restaurant for the first time, last night. It has a cute ambience and very friendly staff. The beautifully presented and freshly prepared risotto I got was perfect. I was personally very impressed with the simplicity of the dish without compromising on the flavour at all. It had the right balance of flavours and consistency, giving me a good warm feeling in my belly. The staff was very attentive and I would say took great care of me. I felt like a guest visiting a home. Overall I left the place a little happier than I was :)
