Ristorante Bonaroti — The Cozy Classic
A beloved Vienna staple, Bonaroti delivers old world Italian charm from the moment you walk through the door. Casey swears it surpasses anything he’s had in Rome, Florence, or Venice and that’s saying something! With its elegant atmosphere, rich pasta dishes, and impeccable service, this restaurant never misses. Perfect for anniversaries, celebrations, or just because.
Must try: Cocktails, carbonara, manicotti, halibut, and finish with the Italian classic tiramisu.
Evelyn Rose — Chic Eats
The “new” restaurant that instantly became a favorite. Evelyn Rose brings a fresh take to Vienna dining with bold flavors, creative cocktails, and a chic yet comfortable setting. It’s the kind of place where dinner turns into conversation, and conversation turns into another round.
Must try: Lamb rib appetizer, scallops, cocktails, wine pairings and anything your server recommends, trust them!
Additional favorites to try: Pazzo Pomodoro. Casey and Morgan were just there last night and enjoyed a delicious eggplant parmesan and Veal. We also enjoy dining at The Maple Room and Clarity.
