    Food was very good. Good service, however it was very cold in the dining room. Very Dark too. I had to use my phone's flashlight to view the menu.

    Everything was perfect. The setting, the staff and the food was fantastic. The veal was so tender and the portions were big. Of course took the leftovers home. The Straciatella soup was delicious as was the shrimp cocktail. We had cheesecake for dessert which was fantastic. We shared it and couldn’t finish it. The piano player adds a nice touch.

    Service was fine but the food was not as we had hoped. There were four of us and none of us were completely happy with our meal. We heard great things about Sambuca but we will not make a return visit

    As always everything was fabulous. I had the chicken special that was soooooo good. Our waitress is so pleasant. Along with the pleasant staff, the piano player adds a nice touch. I already made reservations for Valentine’s Day.
