    We cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! The food was superb. Three of us had the special halibut and we all thought it was the best we have ever had. My husband had the rigatoni bolognese and thought it excellent— not drowning in sauce like at some other places. Even the dinner rolls were fantastic— so good we ordered a second! The service was superb. And Julio is a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommended.
