    Excellent food! We came for the weekday $25 Prix Fixe lunch menu and were amazed by the delicious options and portion sizes. Will definitely be back!

    My server and the food were incredible! She surprised me with a mango dessert, bearing in mind my allergies, as it was my birthday, even though I chose not to order one. Would highly recommend the chicken parm and gluten free pasta. Made my day!

    This was my second time here and both times have been excellent. Favorite appetizer is the meatballs, entree is rigatoni vodka and dessert is the tiramisu. Favorite drink was their espresso martini- made with tequila- super yummy.

    Excellent service and the food was delicious! I especially liked that they kept leftovers in the kitchen until we were ready to depart the restaurant. We were handed a numbered tag to pick up our leftovers upon departure - great idea!

    We started with cocktails and Table bread. The cocktails are in small glasses but were good. The Table bread was ok. The chopped salad was huge and was delicious. The braised beef tagliatelle was delicious. For dessert we ate the cannolis and they were fabulous. The restaurant ambience was great. We read that the noise level could be loud. However we could converse easily and could hear each other well.

    Absolutely loved our food and we had a lot! The calamari was definitely overcooked but we didn’t complain because everything else was delicious! Service was top notch - our server was very helpful.
