This place is romantic and the food is wonderful. Everything we had from the bread all the way through dessert was perfection. The crab cakes are to die for. The entire staff was friendly and very accomodating. We had a great dinner and would highly recomend this place. We hope to go back soon.

I came to Sette on a second date. The space was forgettable and crowded. The first spot we were seated in was awful and we requested to move. The second table was not much better and we might as well been on a double date with the random couple next to us. The appetizers were decent enough but the special I got was a chicken breast with melted Asiago. Now, I love Asiago cheese, but when melted is smells enough like vomit for an unaware third party to question whether or not someone has recently. In either case...my vomit smelling chicken wasn't very good, and that ended up being my last date with that girl. Which I cannot blame her for. I blame the vomit chicken!!

the four of us started with baked clams and a marinated octopus dish. baked clams were pretty good, and the octopus was excellent--perfect texture and flavor. each of us had a very different entree, each of which was excellent: The lobster risotto was full of lobster flavor with large chunks of lobster meat; the skirt steak was perfectly cooked and very juicy; the gnocchi were of perfect firmness and not over-powered by the pesto; and the tagliatelle alla bolognese was just delicious

When I was pregnant, this was the only place I wanted to go to. I can always find something special there, and the service is perfect. They are patient, and not hurried, so you can relax while you enjoy. Try the specials!

Went here last Monday with a couple of friends. Service was horrible! The water and olives waiter could not bring us more bread..had to wait for the bread waiter and the bread waiter could not give us more bread until the table waiter said it was ok. It was just bread for goodness sakes not the crown jewels!! For an un-busy time, the service was very inattentive. I would definately not go back.

I was planning a double date and of all the restaurants that I searched that was inexpensive to moderate with a beautiful setting, Sette certainly has it all. Dim candle lights and background music that sets the romantic setting, with a waiter full of character, Sette is the best Italian restaurant I found so far. I tried to plan for another date and I just can't find a better place than Sette. The food was extraordinary tasteful and the atmosphere is perfect.
