    This is a beautiful restaurant with an excellent menu and great food. We started with Focaccia with the added whipped ricotta and honey. It is quite large upon arrival but is so light and airy that it will be gone before you know it! The ricotta and honey was a perfect match. For mains, I quite enjoyed the Waygu Beef Gnocchi which is definitely a full bodied beefy meal in a substantial portion size. My wife enjoyed the Chicken Supreme Piccata (without the usually included capers) and found it delicious. Unfortunately it was delivered with capers so I had to start my meal while we waited for the correction to be made, which was fairly quick. For dessert we shared a limoncello tiramisu, which was light, tasty, and a perfect end to a great meal. Our only negative (besides the capers mistake) was that we had indicated it was my wife’s birthday both at time of reservation and upon arrival, yet nothing was done by the staff to help us celebrate (as in a free prosecco or desert) that we usually find at other fine restaurants. All in all, Simona is an excellent restaurant which we look forward to visiting again.

    Placed us right beside the thermostat for our table which was not romantic whatsoever. Food was amazing but interesting size portions for the price. Service was also not the best. I couldn’t believe I had to cut my own pizza. Only took the the waiter to come back 3 times after we ordered for them to take the menus. Overall the food was good but service was poor compared to other $100 bill food spots.

    Food is very good here. the carpaccio was delicious and so are the meatballs! Service was pretty good. Not super fast but nothing to complain about. It is beautifully decorated and has a nice patio.

    The ambiance is divine. Tables have plenty of space between them and offer comfortable seating. We also appreciate that it’s relatively quiet so we can have a conversation without raising our voices. The service is also good; wait staff are attentive without being intrusive. Unfortunately, our food was only okay. The chocolate cake was very dry and one of our pizzas was burnt.

    This was our second time and although the food was very good, the service was not able to keep up with the busy restaurant. We had a great experience a few weeks ago but the staff was clearly overwhelmed on our visit yesterday.

    Simona was once more wonderful. The restaurant is beautiful and cozy, the food never disappoints and is delicious and the cocktails absolutely blissfully. And most important is that detail when the desserts come has a birthday surprise for my friends that now have become Simona clients.
