    Service was top notch. Our waiter Vincenzo was very attentive and knowledgeable about the entire menu. Our cocktails arrived quickly and were made to perfection. Entrees were sensational with the favorite being the veal in a mushroom sauce. After enjoying our meals we shared a magnificent and perfect in every way grand marnier soufflé. A gift from the gods. So perfect. Was great to see Bruno as he made the rounds visiting each guest. On the whole a delightful , memorable dining experience.

    We got there 10 minutes before our reservation. Got seated right away. We were able to get the kitchen table which is a lot of fun to see all the dishes being prepared. Service was average, I think it was because of our waiter because everyone else seemed more on top of it. The food was good, and tasty. The kids enjoyed a kids size pizza which was made fresh to order. The adults shared a salad, spicy chicken carb and it was delicious. We ended it with a colossal dessert which all 5 shared.

    We enjoyed dinner with our friends. Servers were nice. My wife and guests enjoyed their dinner, but my Spaghetti alla Bolognese Rich beef, pork, and mushroom sauce actually had no sauce and was very dry and disappointing. You could barely find the beef. I asked for sauce after tasting it, and the server brought me some sauce. It didn’t help much; dish was dry and lacked flavor.
