   The restaurant was not crowded, so the service was attentive and efficient. The wine list is very good, with an emphasis on Italian wines, and the prices are in line with what other restaurants in the area. A bottle of Vermentino cost $60. The food was well prepared and nicely presented; we particularly recommend the veal dishes. The fritto misto was a very good appetizer. The desserts, including the cheesecake and the tiramisu, were very nice indeed. This was our second visit to the restaurant and we intend to return.

   When our party of 4 entered we were asked if we wanted to sit in the main dining room or the quieter cellar. We chose the cellar as the dining room was loud and crowded. The cellar is amazing for a nice dinner where you can hear the people in your party. We shared the meatball appetizer special and it was delicious. The four entrees we ordered were pollo rollatini (2) the bucatini and the gnocchi. Everyone raved about their meals. I had the gnocchi bolognese. It was super flavorful and light, with a nice chew. We shared two desserts, the tiramisu and crème brûlée Both were amazing, some of the best we’ve had anywhere. A few cocktails and a bottle of wine. All in all, I would highly recommend and we all plan to visit again since there are other things on the menu we want to try. Our waiter Nicco (not sure this is how he spells it) we friendly, attentive and had just the right amount of interaction with us.

   Very good Italian food and super friendly staff. We went for a shared birthday celebration and each of us really enjoyed our meals. The drinks were good, too.

   We arrived at 5:45 on a Friday evening for an early dinner, having made the reservation more than a week in advance. We were seated in the same room as a wedding party. It was so loud that we could barely hear the wait staff. When I went back to the hostess to express our concern, I was told half of the dining room was for a private party, but the other half was for diners with reservations. There’s no partition or any other structure to separate the two halves, so we had to watch and listen while the couple stuffed wedding cake in each other’s mouths and their friends roared in delight. The meal was good. We were perplexed that having pasta with chicken Parmesan was a $5 up charge. There was a mix up with our bill. We were happy to leave once it was resolved and are not sure we will ever return.
