Immaculate experience, great food and wonderful service. My husband opted for the tasting menu - the food selection was amazing and the portion was really big unlike many other places and I had pork chop which was delicious aswell. We’re definitely going back soon.

We had an amazing experience at Staple & Fancy! The burrata with pistachio pesto was absolutely unforgettable, really the best pistachio pesto I have ever had. The salmon crudo and crab ravioli were both incredible, full of fresh flavor and perfectly executed. To top it off, their homemade ginger beer was spectacular, refreshing and unique. The service was excellent, with a friendly waiter and a warm, welcoming host who made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

Went to staple & fancy last night and wow what a meal. Service was very positive our server was great she was super attentive. We did the tasting menu and it was great. My wifes radiatore was incredible def a highlight. The steak was a stand out for me cooked perfectly. Loved the vibe inside too. If you want authentic Italian try this place we will be back.

We had a birthday dinner at Staple & Fancy and opted for the chef’s menu. Overall, the food was tasty, though I was slightly disappointed with one of the main vegetarian dishes—it was mostly just squash, which became a bit overwhelming. That aside, we had a great experience. The service was good, and the wine pairing was delicious.

Solid date night! Finally got to try this spot and it was great. We did the tasting menu which is nice bc you get to try a lot of food without having to choose. The radiatore pasta with the ragu was definitely the best part for me. My husband really liked the steak course, it was cooked well. Cute cozy spot for a nice italian dinner.
