    Another excellent Friday night meal at Stoneground Italian Kitchen! Ben was our most attentive server and took care of us very well! We had the Fettuccine ala Zozonna, the Lasagna and the Black Tagliatelle and, of course, the donuts for dessert. Thanks again for another great tasting meal!

    We had a family dinner at Stoneground and it didn’t disappoint! Everyone loved their meal. I have the Bolognese and it was probably the best one I had ever had. It was slightly spicy and served with fresh ricotta, which mellowed it out. It was so creamy and delicious! My husband had the filet, and it was the most tender steak ever! So juicy and flavorful! The donuts and crème brûlée were also fantastic!

    ALWAYS a fantastic meal when we dine here! Lobster Tagliatelli, beet salad, and some cocktails-you just can't get any better than that! Also, as on several other visits, Hannah was our server. She is absolutely amazing-funny, thoughtful, and very on top of everything. Perfect night! Thanks!
