We made a reservation for Valentine’s Day. We only had to wait 5 minutes on a table when we got there 10 minutes early. Despite the restaurant being packed for the holiday, service was efficient and friendly and the food was hot and delicious. We were impressed!

Food was excellent. Ambience was killed by sitting in a bar table that bartenders were trying to serve us along with the bar. It feels like we were squeezed in, not people with reservations.

We eat here often. The Italian specialties are authentic; the steaks are always superb and cooked precisely to order. The Caesar salad is excellent with anchovies as I prefer. We have, unfortunately, never had appetite left for dessert, but the menu features several that look amazing. Try Puleo's - you won't be disappointed.
