We finally got a chance to try Bernini's last night. We were headed out for an early dinner and decided to call to see if there were any open bar seats for 2, which there were.

It was actually very quiet, the bar had a few seats open but the rest cleared out soon after we arrived. We found out a bit later that the restaurant was mostly reserved for a large party. The owner Brie's sister got married on Saturday, so a large group of family and friends came in.

The food was great! Jumbo shrimp cocktail, Tomato and Burrata salad and a side of meatballs were all spot on. The garlic knots soaked in butter are awesome.

For dinner we decided to split a chicken alfredo and opted to add filet. I figured it was going to be some sliced up filet in it, but it turns out it was an actual filet on the side. At least a 6oz, if not bigger. Everything was fantastic.
We definitely over-ordered a bit.

As long as we can get in, this will definitely become a regular spot for us.

Had a good meal there this summer, staff and host very attentive. Noise is a real issue there-- it was, at times, hard to maintain a conversation. Will go back in the winter, when it may be, perhaps, a bit quieter.
