    The special Lemon sole was disappointing and not worth the price. Although the portion was substantial, the taste and texture was suboptimal

    Great Italian food and service!! They found the perfect balance of creamy but not too rich for the cream sauces and carbonara.

    Dinner was fabulous, service was excellent. Only issue is that we ordered 2 items that the server did not know they were out of. And quite honestly we were surprised since it was 6:00 pm on a Friday.

    I was very disappointed. We had a coarser salad with rock hard tomatoes. A special flounder dish where I could barely find the fish. I was disappointed. This is a place to come for the pasta. The other items were really sub par. My daughter’s pasta was good.
