This was our first time at Patrono and we will 100٪ be back. First of all the service was absolutely wonderful. Sydney is an amazing server and stayed on top of everything and was so friendly, his smile is contagious! The short rib bolegnese was tender and fresh tasting. Ribeye was perfectly cooked and seasoned. In our party we tried the almond cake, chocolate and cherries, as well as the Panna Cotta and we wish we had enough room to finish it all! The cherries are absolutely divine and if you get dessert, you need to try them!
Great quality, flavor, and portion sizes. Crab cake entree is HUGE! The grilled octopus was perfect, pastas tasted freshly made. Really great menu and location for any pre event dinner.
Definitely one of my favorite meals while visiting the city. Stopped in for lunch, walked from the memorial museum nearby. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food came out quickly. I tried the mezze a la vodka, meatballs, and salted caramel gelato - all of which were yummy. The bread they brought to the table really hit the spot too as it was warm and had two sauce/spread options. I generally prefer a creamier vodka sauce for the pasta, but I did really enjoy this and the pasta was clearly fresh. There was no wait at lunchtime. My server (who I believe said his name was Shannon or something similar - bad with names, apologies!), was on top of it the whole time; I never had to ask for a refill or anything. Would definitely recommend trying this one out if looking for Italian food in the area.
We’ve been here a few times and every time we have, the service and food has been amazing! To start, this place has such a chill vibe, and today, our server Castleberry and the manager Shannon were so attentive and took good care of us the entire time, making sure everything was replenished and that we truly enjoyed our food and experience. We got the Carbonara and the Spaghetti Tomato Basil. And the Gelato and Tomato Soup. Everything was incredible! And the bread and butter… my goodness. Overall 10/10 for everything!
Tried Patrono’s for date night last week, and it did not disappoint. This small, cozy restaurant offers limited seating, which adds to its intimate charm. They specialize in what they call “rustic Italian cuisine”—I’m not entirely sure what that means, but I do know that everything we tried was delicious. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the wait staff was incredibly attentive throughout the evening. I ordered the pork chop, and my date had the jumbo crab cake. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. A big thank you to the management and staff for making our evening so enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!
