I have been going to Ancora since it first opened as La Finestra in around 2000. The owners are true restaurant professionals, and serve guests with gusto. The food there is really good, and the service is typically very effective. Go there and you will know why the same people have been going there for dinner for two decades, of good eating, at a fair price.

Really fresh, piping hot food...so flavorful and authentic.

The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and abundant! We ordered the shrimp and lobster dish with pasta. The sauce on the pasta was excellent, and we savored every last drop.

Overall was great!

Always delicious. Shorthanded on Mother's Day, but the staff that was there went out of their way to ensure a pleasant dining experience for all.

Some great authentic Italian cuisine.This place is not too fancy and service usually takes a while. They more than make up for this with their awesome food.

We always enjoy Ancora lovely meal and Ambience

I was extremely disappointed. I got such a small portion of fish. It was maybe three bites. They covered it with all the tomatoes and artichoke hearts. It looks like a very large portion but when you got to the fish there was nothing there. To spend that kind of money was such a small portion was ridiculous.I go out with my friends every Saturday night. we are always looking for a nice restaurant to go to. Unfortunately I will not be going back to Ancora. I went there years ago and I don’t remember having such small portions as I did last night.

Fabulous Italian restaurant that walks the line between formal and casual. Great takes on common pasta dishes and salads. Good wine and beer list. Still a great restaurant with great staff. But skip the pizza. Get pasta at Anchor and any attachments without reading or saving get pizza at a pizza shop.

Incredible atmosphere, lovely server, great food and free shots! 100000/10
