    As you enter the design speaks to fine dining experience. Staff very attentive, with service level high but not over bearing. The wine list extensive, menu has adequate choices. Prices are reasonable and food exquisite. Ask for Steve he is an excellent server. A must go to

    Michael was great, very knowledgeable, pink sauce rose linguine Pasta with lobster was supreme, my son loved the rib eye steak, mushroom risotto was excellent. Do not leave without tasting the mint lime pinnacle cotta and grape sorbet, very delicious. I just wished the focaccia bread would be fresher and affogato be available next time. We are certainly coming back. Thank you Michael

    First experience, the service with Maurizio (hope I'm spelling that right) was exemplary. Really enjoyed the romantic ambience, and the foot was delicious. Special request for fifth anniversary was met with a free dessert and a personalized message on the plate. Fantastic!
