We had a wonderful evening at DeGidios! My husband really loved the bourbon flight! Our friend and I enjoyed our bottle of Dr Loosen Riesling. All of our meals were scrumptious- the Stromboli, the Hot Dego, and the Chicken Alfredo!!! Our server was delightful- very friendly, sweet and attentive! DeGidios never disappoints!!!
