Great service, very attentive at the table, but not bothersome. Short ribs were amazing and the pairing with the wine was just right.

The hostess was abrupt and not very friendly but everything else was perfect. Our waitress was fun, offered great selections, and provided excellent service. The atmosphere is wonderful. It has a real, subtle Italian feel in an old home. The food is amazing. I had the cannelloni. It was perfect size and perfectly cooked. The bread with the tapenade is a must. My friends’ meals were excellent too. Love this place.

Great experience. Waiter was very friendly and knew the menu very well. Food was flavorful and served quickly. Calamari was great. Ordered 2 baskets for a party of 6 it was just enough. We all tried different menu items and they were all great no complaints at all. Clam chowder was nice and thick.
