    If you want an amazing meal and don’t require coddling to enjoy it, this is the place to go. All of the food was exceptional, but the meatballs have a magic to them. Is it easy to get a table? No. Did I have to wait in line for my reservation like I was at a soup kitchen? Yes. Would I do it again and again just for even a meatball bite? Absolutely and I’d be excited to do it. There’s also a unique ambience, it’s like the gen x version of an Italian restaurant. Instead of Frank Sinatra tunes and pictures of old ladies making wine in the old country, they play mob movies on big screens and a faster paced music. My only regret is waiting so many years to try it.

    We sat at a round table overlooking Steve and the kitchen staff. The kitchen was like a well oiled machine. Steve was so nice to all of us! The first thing he said to us was “Welcome Home”. It was home.

    Great place to take an escort for dinner. Wine was unbelievably overpriced. Food was good. Service was spotty and not very friendly (hostess and bar staff)
