Ai Sette Santi

How many places can you think of that have perfect food, atmosphere, service, reasonable prices and view to boot? It’s truly rare, but I think Ai Sette Santi is one of those. We were lucky enough to be invited to dinner here on Thanksgiving night. That means nothing to folks of Italy, but it means a lot to us from the US. Thanksgiving is a holiday meant to honor our founders and celebrate those we are thankful for. It was our first Thanksgiving away from our family, but here were were treated like family.
The food here came in enormous portions! Even the appetizers arrived in hearty portions. We decided to get the calamari which was an excellent choice! It was crispy and tender but full of flavor.
I ordered the seafood pasta that was enough for two honestly! There was a large variety of seafood but the best was flavor of the pasta sauce! The pasta itself was a bit al dente, just the way I like it.
As soon as my son saw french fry pizza on the menu, he needn’t look any further. All their pizzas were delicious but to have french fries on them brought it to a new level for him.
I ordered the salt crusted fish seabass for my daughter. The waitress offered to debone it the seabass and remove the crust to which I allowed but in hindsight it may have been a mistake. It was tender and moist, but it would’ve been nice to have some of that crunchy salty crust to go along with the fish. Live and learn.
The highlight of the evening was the dessert. When shown the dessert menu, my daughter went nuts for the Lady Gaga ice cream which was ice cream encased in a Lady Gaga toy. How brilliant is that?
After dinner, we enjoyed the glimmer of lights right outside the restaurant. There were a few parked cars of teenagers who were probably irritated that we interrupted their festivities… ahem. Who cares?! T’is a beautiful sight anyway. It was a perfect ending to a great evening. Great food, great company, and wonderful service. It truly doesn’t get better than that. This was truly a gem!

This place was actually quite good! The food was amazing, the space was plentiful, and the staff were on their game! There was a huge group of us and we were all well taken care of with no mess ups or confusion… very impressed! The Chicken Cesar salad… Amazing and Huge!
