I ordered the garlic bread with my family, the chicken piccata. I got the normal house salad with the vinaigrette and I’m waiting on seeing this dessert tray.
Upon entering, the host was very pleasant. She had rocking hair, live music provided by the lady in the dress with the supplied acoustics was phenomenal.
The garlic bread was immaculate. It looked as if it would be crunchy and almost hurt your teeth, but it was soft and crunchy at the same time beautifully tasting and buttery.
The chicken piccata was a delicate and pleasant journey as well. Garlic, cheesy creamy and the mashed potatoes compete with five star steakhouses like for real.
I was catered to (Brandon did a Fantastic Job, thank you so much sir!!!), the wine was perfect. Coke zero on top was was great.
I’m sure the dessert would be a hit as well.
Overall 12 out of 10 thank you so much for an amazing experience! And another shoutout to our wonderful waiter, Brandon!!

Overall ok food but service was very subpar. The spinach artichoke came out hot and was really good. The pizza was really good and much larger than I had anticipated so enough for 3 people. The cheese ravioli was good but would skip the sausage next time as it was cold and lacked flavor. They had a good live guitarist/singer so provided nice background music. The servixe needs improved as server seemed to disappear for a long time so refills, getting bill etc wasn’t easy.

We had a fabulous time at our first visit to Birraporetti’s. What a fine restaurant. Lovely Christmas decorations and great first impression with hostess and our waiter Jonny. He was very kind. He explained the menu to us and was very helpful in explaining to us the difference between a bar mitzvah and a bat mitzvah. We had no idea what a bat mitzvah was. He recommended some dishes for us. When I told him I could not eat very much but really wanted to try the brick oven pizza he was most kind in letting me know it comes in a smaller portion. I will include pictures of both of our dishes. My husband had the veal piccata, and I had the special.
For dessert we had chocolate chip cheesecake, and I had the key lime pie it did not disappoint. The key lime pie had a very strong taste of lime which is just the way I like it. It was also very smooth.
We will definitely visit again when in the area, The restaurant was very clean as well as the restrooms which is always a plus. I highly recommend this restaurant, great ambiance, great service, great menu.

We enjoyed a quick dinner here, before watching the outsiders at the hobby center. We parked at the hobby center and walked over to Birraporetti’s, it was a ten minute walk. My daughter and I shared an appetizer and an entree so that we wouldn’t have any leftovers since we were going straight to the musical. The atmosphere was beautiful, of course, it’s all dressed up for christmas, we did not have a reservation and sat in the bar area on the shared seating area, it was really nice a little snug, but we made it work. We met a couple that had just come from the outsiders, and we met another couple that was going to the symphony. All of the patrons around us were very nice and it didn’t feel uncomfortable at all sitting next to strangers we just made new friends.

Excellent restaurant! Just like I remember the location in New Orleans at the top of the Jax Brewery back in the 80s. Lulu’s lasagna tastes exactly the same as it did back then!

This is Olive Garden level food at upscale prices solely based on location. Super convenient for Italian before a theatre/symphony performance but you’re paying for a lot more than what you’re getting.
They probably stay afloat from their cocktail room with low light and teeny tiny live music spot. I’d come here again if I wanted a crowded upscale bar setting, not for the food/restaurant. Basically no one eating on a Friday night.
