Food was ok but Not Special as we expected. Table in the side room felt like a storage room waitress was nice and service was good but don’t think I will go back.

The server was so bad. Apparently he didn’t feel the need to welcome us or tell us the specials until we asked! Impossible to have a conversation without yelling. Celebrating a special evening was completely ruined by the poor service.

Has the most amazing tortellini dish and the other people in my party also loved their choices. Seriously, order the tortellini in vodka sauce.
