The food was absolutely amazing! Each time... read more I had pizza and it’s hands down the best pizza in the city. My wife who has a gluten allergy also had options which was a huge win and rare for an Italian restaurant and she says it was the best pasta she has ever had! My 2 year old who is the worlds pickiest eater would literally jump out of his seat every time his dinner was served - that alone is an award itself! What made this place extra special for us was the staff. Everyone was so incredible to me and my family every time we came in. I have to give an extra special shout out to our friend Elliot. He served us every night and words can’t explain how incredible he was. It’s like we were eating at his own home and he wanted to make sure every thing was perfect for us. My kid absolutely loved him and jumped at the opportunity to give him high fives every chance he got. He made sure my wife’s gluten allergy was always on top of mind and always made sure she was taken care of and we loved all the conversations we had during our time. Thank you Elliot and thank you for everyone at Victorias for making so many special memories that we will never forget. Pura Vida and we hope to be back again soon.
