This is our family go to restaurant for Italian Food. We have gone there midweek and weekends, with small and parties (up to 10 people). The food is consistently great, the servers and staff always make us feel like we are part of their family, and the atmosphere is busy but never feels crowded or loud. The managers always come by to say Hi and make sure we are happy with our service and food. In the summer we love sitting outside where we can enjoy being right next to the lake. My personal favorites are the pizza, filet, shrimp scampi, and glazed salmon.
