Outstanding! Fresh ingredients prepared perfectly. Don’t sleep on the Bolognese. It’s amazing! I was pleasantly surprised when it was served with cavatappi instead of linguine.

We held our holiday dinner with our family. The food was very good, however the dessert menu was disappointing as they were out of 2 of the 5 items. Bar service was on the slow side. The food was very good. I would go back for the food and the pricing was very affordable. Hope they up their game on the dessert menu.

Best to call first after previewing menu online and booking reservation. Surprised by 3 Soups and 3 basic favorites Italian dishes UNAVAILABLE! WTH? Wasn’t even extended a FREE cocktail or dessert after expressing concerns with Mgr twice. Understaffed. Disappointed.

Was a quiet Sunday dinner. The steaks were one of the best we’ve had and I was not expecting it to be as fantastic as it was. Glad that this place is there!

Service and atmosphere is where this restaurant shines. The food is delicious, however portion sizes are a bit on the small side for the price. You will only get around 5 - 7 normal sized ravioli for around $20. I digress, this is a perfect restaurant for a special occasion. Very much enjoyed our date night.
