Delicious food and great service. Always enjoy eating out at Destino's. I usually order their sausage zucchini soup with my meal. Their fried calamari is another go to. It is unlikely that you'll be unhappy with anything from Destino's. Everything I've had here is delicious. Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch

We had dinner to celebrate my Grandaughters 18th birthday. For an Italian restaurant, I was expecting a difference ambiance, however... We were seated at a downstairs table. These are situated around the room with the bar taking center stage upon coming in the front door. And an upper floor we didn't visit. Kind of reminded me of a hofbra restaurant bar. I was surprised at how simple my dish several others I tasted were. The red sauce w/o meat served on most of the pasta meals we ordered Beef Raviolis/ spagetti, etc. was plain, I was hoping to get a really tasty meal! The raviolis tasted like the large refridgerated ones at the market. The garlic bread also was nothing special. We were not offered Parmesan , In a shaker or grated by our server. I also tried the Chicken Alfredo my daughter ordered, I had to taste it as it is her favorite dish. The flavor was mild, and lacked any memorable taste for me. We ordered a side order of cheese bread, and it was also bland. For the price, I was totally unhappy with the food we ordered. I live alone and eat frozen pre-made meals too often my taste has gotten extremely sensitive this year, food doesn't have to be highly seasoned for me to find favor or have garlic or pepper seasons taste like I have bitten into chili in my mouth, and I can't eat after tasting. However these sauces lacked any savory flavor or seasoning. Super mild. The food was prepared properly,they steralize the glsses at the bar, the place was very clean, waiter was nice...

Apparently the coconut shrimp thry had an pic is nowhere near whats served. Used to be good food now it tastes like a line cook made it....drowning in bland sauce so pasta is wide an overcooked fromm all the sauce....Orderd the more expensive dinner an didnt even get white meat breast chicken. I got sNdwich pieces? Oh the nice fresh chesse they used to grate on top ..noopppe.. i asked an got handed pizza packets. Spaghetti was terrible. Tasted like salt an litterally spent 80 bucs. Ate 3 bits paid the check an walked accross to pizza place....If i was the owner id be pissed that the standard slipped that hard for those pric3s,,, even the plating looks sloppy.....u should hire a chef again....it shows in your quality of food.....glad u got to keep a free 80 bucs....never ever will i return.....this buisnees lost good food an hired the wrong people for thier kitchen. Have them taste somw of the dishes or at least have them look at what your food used to look like so the standards dont fall so hard

Came here for lunch and ate outside on the patio! Got the house salad and mama mia pizza which was super delicious (pictured). Came back and got the meatball sandwich with a house salad and side of fries (pictured). Came back the Friday before Halloween and got the Chicken Broccoli Rigatoni and Parmesan Cheese Bread appetizer (pictured). Both tasty! Service: Dine in
