Very busy for a Monday evening. All was the usual high quality. Fun date to park, watch the sunset, and then take the short walk here for dinner. A few good restaurants right across the street if this one is full. I had the veal piccata-delicious!

Isabella was a great hostess. I requested a standard table and we sat right at the front in a booth. Our server Kevin remembered my dessert order! I tried the corn saccetti and had my favorite - the Tagliatelle alla Portofino. It was divine. Can’t wait to go back!

My first experience was a celebration of my 65th birthday, and choosing One Door North turned out to be a great decision! The service, food and ambience were all on point, and food highlights were shrimp skewers, the pepperoni flatbread pizza, the apple crisp & warm cookie served with ice cream, and the make your own s'mores were such a fun novelty!
