    My husband and I decidedto go out to lunch instead of dinner for Valentines Day. My California salad and eggplant parmesan were delicious. Since they ran out of pastrami, my husband got the turkey sandwich.

    There was a chip in a wine glass and it wasn’t noticed until a glass was consumed from the bottle. During the second glass we noticed it (pretty decent chip) and the server took it away and said nothing about it. I know it’s not his fault but as a sever myself for many years, I was amazed at the lack of care from both him and the establishment. They did dump the second glass but it wasn’t noticed until a $100 bottle and to not offer a replacement glass for the $25 was not stellar. We waited about 20 minutes for them to address it and they didn’t so we then asked if we could get another glass and they deducted $25 from the bill. Fair but disappointing that they didn’t initiate that on their own. Not to mention that there was real concern about my husband having possibly invested glass and repercussions of that. In the end, it wasn’t a pleasant or enjoyable experience.

    This is our go to Restaurant. It never fails to deliver. They have the best bread ever.  Chicken Parmesan is always my go to. Husband had the salmon which was great and Sun had tagliatelle with beef. All were perfectly served.

    An excellent family-run Italian restaurant with a wonderful range of delicious food, a super friendly staff and a more than adequate wine list. Prices are reasonable and portion sizes are large. Our server Rachel was a delight! We visited for an anniversary dinner and were treated to a wonderful bowl of Spumoni! I do wish that they would restore their Baked Mostaciolli as regular menu item!
