Destino

A true example of fine Italian dining and definitely a hidden gem. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere and ambiance were exceptional. Every staff member was warm, welcoming, and attentive, acknowledging guests even when they were not our assigned server. The level of hospitality really stood out. The food was outstanding from start to finish. We began with the grilled octopus, which was incredibly flavorful, along with freshly baked warm bread served with delicious olive oil. You could immediately tell the ingredients were fresh and high quality. For the main course, I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which was cooked perfectly al dente, exactly how I like it. My friend had the short rib ravioli, and it was absolutely amazing. We finished by sharing the tiramisu, which was easily one of the best I've ever had. It was perfectly balanced—not overly sweet—and paired wonderfully with the coffee. Even the regular coffee was brewed to perfection: smooth, rich, and remarkably free of bitterness. The restaurant itself is beautiful. We enjoyed the perfect weather and spent some time on the patio after dinner, which was thoughtfully designed and very relaxing. Inside, the space is impressive, featuring a stylish bar area, elegant décor, and a stunning fireplace that serves as a beautiful focal point. The restaurant also offers a large banquet room, private dining spaces, and a newly renovated dining area that can comfortably accommodate large private events of over 100 guests. A special mention goes to the owner, Danny, who was incredibly friendly and genuinely invested in his guests' experience. He made a point of visiting tables and speaking with customers throughout the evening, which added a very personal touch. This restaurant delivers exceptional food, outstanding service, and a beautiful atmosphere. A well-deserved 5-star experience all the way. Highly recommended.

Stopped by Destino Ristorante with my coworkers after work and honestly it was such a nice place to sit back and enjoy a proper meal. The atmosphere felt polished but still comfortable, which made it great for an after work dinner. Right from the start, the servers were very, very professional and attentive, and the service throughout the evening felt smooth and well paced. We were brought hot bread to begin with and it was absolutely delicious, the kind you keep reaching for without even thinking. For the appetizer, we had the burrata, which was fresh, creamy, and a really nice way to start the meal. For the mains, we ordered the carbonara and the meatballs, and both were excellent. Everything tasted well made, rich, and satisfying without feeling overly heavy. To finish, we had the tiramisu, and it was the perfect ending to the dinner. Overall, the food was excellent, the service was impressive, and it felt like a great spot to come with coworkers after a long day.

Food is super delicious. Everything came out exactly as ordered or better. Vegetables used tasted fresh as did the meat. Each dish was presented well. The osso bucco was deliciously rich in meat flavor, and the marrow left in the bone was absolutely melt in your mouth. The cream of chicken soup exceeded my expectations with how rich the flavor is and how delicate the broth feels. Carpaccio was well prepared, with just the right amount of capers. My favorite is the dessert martini. A light yet creamy finish to an absolute dream of a meal.

Being a retired chef, I thought I’d treat myself by having dinner tonight at the “Chef’s Table” back in the kitchen. The kitchen is running like a well oiled engine. I had the Rigatoni ala Vodka Sauce and my wife had the Risotto with Chicken. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. Our Server’s name was Evelyn and she was absolutely a delight and attentive to our needs. She truly made us feel like family. I highly recommend Destino’s for anyone looking for an authentic Italian dinner and great service. Chef Clay
