I’ve been there several times and the food is usually very very good. The only issue I had was it took them four times to get my steak right. Other than that definitely will be going back.

Seated pretty quickly; service was a little slow; menu had nice variety; calamari appetizer was skimpy, but delicious; entrees were spaghetti and meatball (1), lamb chops, and a salad - all tasty; desserts were Nutella crepe and a bread pudding - both delicious!
