I absolutely adore this restaurant! We visit to celebrate special occasions or whenever we're in the mood for a more upscale menu. The ingredients are sourced locally, and everything is made fresh by the chef. I've never had a dish that I didn't enjoy. The menu changes regularly, so there's always a delightful surprise waiting for us. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Gocciolina:
The service was decent, but it did take a while to get our drinks, and the appetizers were brought out one at a time. I understand it used to be a tapas restaurant, but since it's not anymore, I’m not sure why they served the appetizers in that manner. The portion sizes of the meals were surprisingly small; it felt like we were given tapas-sized portions at full meal prices. We chose this place for my dad's birthday... View all feedback.
