When we arrived the tables were set up on one end of the restaurant and as always, the service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend Vendetti's for a wonderful meal, great atmosphere, and the best staff anywhere. Thanks for a great local place to enjoy a very tasty meal!“

Our server was Ellie and the service was prompt and friendly. The dishes were picked up the water glasses were refilled and we had a nice conversation on our trips to Europe.
