    This restaurant is amazing. It is the most authentic Italian food we have ever tasted so far in the United States. It is for sure our favorite when we feel like having some food that reminds us home. Their saffron risotto is better than my mom’s! Pappardelle alla bolognese, tiramisu and risotto con ossobuco are definitely recommended. Service is great, they make you feel welcomed and at home. Good job guys!

    The Staff & Food were both excellent. The only thing we would have preferred was that the music was a bit softer (background is a personal preference). It was a bit loud & club like for a dinner out. Overall we had a lovely experience & would recommend.

    My first time dining at Daisies and wanted to belatedly celebrate my birthday with friends. From the beginning the food, service, and overall vibes were amazing! Our server Alberto also made my bday extra special. Loved the fritto misto, gooey butter cake, and the truffle ravioli. Will definitely be dining again when I'm back in town!
