    Our server was lovely and personable but seemed spread to thin. He had way too many tables so we didn’t see him much. The food was excellent and drinks too but we didn’t love the tiramisu. No need for chocolate sauce and needs more espresso flavor. Would definitely visit again.

    Karissa was an excellent server! Very bubbly and happy which made us feel great on New Years Day! The food was delicious (chicken parm, penne vodka sauce, pork chop) and the drinks were excellent as well (try the blood orange cosmo!) Definitely will be back!

    Stunningly beautiful restaurant.. Great ambiance. We had a spacious booth in the corner and it was perfect. Excellent service- our water was always full, and a server was always around if you had a question or concern. They were knowledgeable and not pushy. Our food was memorable - especially the Carbonara, Gnocchi Cacio e Pepe, as well as the salmon and pork chop dishes. The Ceasar salad was excellent. The smoked short rib lasagna was the only dish that didn't resonate with us (not as balanced with the strength of the smoky rib and the whole basil leaves). We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary tasting of stuffed shells- they were great! Very good tiramisu and cappuccinos for dessert. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend and plan to be back in the future...

    We dine here often and with good reason. The consistency for all the categories you ask about on the survey are always over the top. The staff, the venue, the FOOD and the prices are all great. This owner has other restaurants in the area and it is the same experience at any of them when we visit. So if you’re local - stay local and try this gem. And if you’re not local - it is worth a trip!
