"My husband and I love each visit we make here. Each dish is unique, flavorful, but still 'takes ' on dishes we like. I love all the extra touches given to each dish to make it different enough that we never feel we can easily stay home and have the same food. On this visit, we loved the stuffed clams in a fantastic broth. Also the burrata cheese with beets to pile on delicious bread. We both ordered and enjoyed one of the daily pasta specials."

cauliflower fritters were good but had a little too much mashed potato; everything was excellent: Arancini, tomato basil soup, tagliatelle pepata, butter beans/rapini/cippolini, hearts of romaine (Caesar salad)
Aurelie
Aperto and its sister restaurant, Bellanico, have been our favorites for several years. We truly enjoy the dining experience, the attentive service, and the thoughtful wine pairings. Thank you once again—it's great to be back!
Agustin
A charming little neighborhood restaurant with a very friendly and efficient staff. Four of us tried three different dishes, and we were all extremely pleased with our choices! This was our third visit, and it definitely won't be our last! View menu

What a wonderful dinner! Carlos and the rest of the staff truly know how to make you feel welcomed. We ordered all of our items family style and what a great idea it was. The short ribs are on pint and hands down it may be one of the best short ribs I have ever tried. We can't wait to visit again
Timmy
Had a great experience here when we met friends for dinner. We benefited from the restaurant being less than 50% full on a Wednesday night. Our server, Anton, was very attentive and kept our Prosecco flutes charged throughout the meal. The butternut squash ravioli, clams spaghetti and the spaghettini special were all excellent as were the olive oil/almond cake and amaretto creme brûlée special. Will definitely return.
