We ended up at Destino's right after we got married because...well...we were hungry! lol. Best last-minute decision we could've made. Everything about this place is 1st class- The restaurant is beautiful, with themed rooms like the Sinatra and Sophia Loren rooms that give it a classy feel without being over the top. I could see it being a great place for a reception, business event, or any special occasion. Chris was our server, and he was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. I had the octopus, scallops, and beet salad, and my wife had the eggplant parmesan. Everything was excellent. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and perfectly prepared. Between the outstanding food, great service, and elegant atmosphere, Destino's exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely be back!

A true example of fine Italian dining and definitely a hidden gem. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere and ambiance were exceptional. Every staff member was warm, welcoming, and attentive, acknowledging guests even when they were not our assigned server. The level of hospitality really stood out. The food was outstanding from start to finish. We began with the grilled octopus, which was incredibly flavorful, along with freshly baked warm bread served with delicious olive oil. You could immediately tell the ingredients were fresh and high quality. For the main course, I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which was cooked perfectly al dente, exactly how I like it. My friend had the short rib ravioli, and it was absolutely amazing. We finished by sharing the tiramisu, which was easily one of the best I've ever had. It was perfectly balancedβnot overly sweetβand paired wonderfully with the coffee. Even the regular coffee was brewed to perfection: smooth, rich, and remarkably free of bitterness. The restaurant itself is beautiful. We enjoyed the perfect weather and spent some time on the patio after dinner, which was thoughtfully designed and very relaxing. Inside, the space is

Food is super delicious. Everything came out exactly as ordered or better. Vegetables used tasted fresh as did the meat. Each dish was presented well. The osso bucco was deliciously rich in meat flavor, and the marrow left in the bone was absolutely melt in your mouth. The cream of chicken soup exceeded my expectations with how rich the flavor is and how delicate the broth feels. Carpaccio was well prepared, with just the right amount of capers. My favorite is the dessert martini. A light yet creamy finish to an absolute dream of a meal.

I had such a beautiful experience at Destino. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The aesthetic of the space is stunning, and the live pianist added a soft, elegant touch that made the evening feel even more special. The food and drinks were just as impressive. I ordered the Mediterranean salad, the Alunia-Rita, and the short rib ravioli, and everything was flavorful and well-prepared. You can tell thereβs real care behind each dish. My waitress, Jennifer, was an absolute sweetheart. She was attentive, kind, and gave great recommendations that truly made the experience better. The rest of the staff was just as welcoming, greeting guests with professionalism and making the space feel comfortable. Overall, it was a lovely night. Great food, beautiful ambiance, and thoughtful service. I will definitely be back.

Stopped by Destino Ristorante with my coworkers after work and honestly it was such a nice place to sit back and enjoy a proper meal. The atmosphere felt polished but still comfortable, which made it great for an after work dinner. Right from the start, the servers were very, very professional and attentive, and the service throughout the evening felt smooth and well paced. We were brought hot bread to begin with and it was absolutely delicious, the kind you keep reaching for without even thinking. For the appetizer, we had the burrata, which was fresh, creamy, and a really nice way to start the meal. For the mains, we ordered the carbonara and the meatballs, and both were excellent. Everything tasted well made, rich, and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. To finish, we had the tiramisu, and it was the perfect ending to the dinner. Overall, the food was excellent, the service was impressive, and it felt like a great spot to come with coworkers after a long day.
