    We dined on Saturday 12/14. We were seated on the 1st floor. We were able to hear the live music coming from the 2nd floor. The ambience was great. We were served by a 2 man wait staff and lacked for nothing during our meal. They were very attentive. They brought us complimentary bruschetta appetizer. We ordered off the prix fix menu which is 4 courses for $45.00. What a great value! We had the lasagna with meatballs and the beggar's purse. They were both fantastic. Don't hesitate to dine here, you won't be disappointed.
