Came here for Thanksgiving yesterday. We had never been here before, but heard positive things about it so we were a little nervous. Everything was beyond delicious. Our appetizers and our dinners. No complaints from anyone in our large group. Staff were very friendly for working a holiday. Inside is very clean. I definitely recommend and I would come back for sure.

We had our wedding celebration lunch here with over 85 guests, and it was absolutely perfect. The space was gorgeous—exactly what we wanted—and the food and service were incredible from start to finish.
John and Val, the owners, were amazing to work with. They made everything so easy and were flexible and helpful throughout the whole process. We loved that there were three price point options for private parties —all reasonable— and the portions were generous. Every dish was delicious, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder or more attentive.
The cheesecake was unforgettable and our guests are still talking about how good the food was. It was the perfect place to celebrate, and we’re so thankful to John and Val for helping make the day so special.

I needed to make a last min reservation for 7 on a Saturday which can be a very busy day for most restaurants. In passing I had mentioned to the person on the phone that we will be fasting and they were able to accommodate a 530 reservation! They had dates ready for us to go and all of our food was brought out with efficiency just as our fast was about to open! We were so impressed. Thank you for taking the time for your customers and being so attentive! And the food as always is amazing!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a wonderful dinner at Ancona Bistro. Not often do you try a new place and leave saying I’m definitely coming back. I had the rack of lamb that was cooked and prepared perfectly. Tried the mussels with chopped clams and cherry peppers. I admit I was a little hesitant to try, but again, they were delicious. The service was kind, very helpful,enjoyable, and professional. The atmosphere was clean,organized, and equipped to handle private parties or small nooks for two. 5 stars.

I recently visited Ancona Italian Restaurant to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and it was a wonderful experience! I had the Cavatelli Juliane
— a delicious dish with shrimp, diced asparagus, grape tomatoes, spinach, all perfectly tossed in a flavorful scampi sauce. Every bite was fresh and full of flavor.
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner or special occasion. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the evening even more enjoyable. I also loved that it’s BYOB, which made it easy for us to bring our favorite wine and toast to the occasion.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian food in a relaxed and welcoming setting!

Came here for a birthday dinner. Service is great, very attentive. Gluten free penne vodka was delicious , the rack of lamb dish was okay but drenched in too much sauce. The shrimp app was just too oily The scallop dish was bland. Honestly it was okay overall nothing extraordinary.

From the moment we stepped in the door we felt welcome and valued. The Owners treated us like family members. It is very obvious that the owners take pride in the dining experience they deliver.
The food was spectacular. I started with the Caprese salad and my wife had the grilled arugula salad. Both were terrific. For our mains, I had the Pasta Ancona with sausage and a pink sauce. My wife had the chicken Parmesan. Both were excellent. This is our third time at Ancona and we know that everything on the menu is fabulous – so it’s really hard to make a choice.
The atmosphere is cozy, warm and very tastefully decorated. We sat in the new section which we love.
Lastly, the prices are very reasonable. And we particularly like the fact it is BYO. We highly recommend Ancona Bistro. Be prepared for a special treat !!!!

I had visited Ancona and enjoyed it so much we had our annual Christmas party with friends here. (16 people$ Unfortunately one couple couldn’t come because they were ill and the restaurant charged us for their meals anyway. 210 bucks with tip and gratuity!! They gave us two meals but it was only the entree not the appetizer or dessert. I know it’s inconvenient for the restaurant but would you want sick people at your establishment? Things happen sometimes. Unfortunately they lost our business forever.
