    Very popular New Years Eve spot, and the service was great. The manager was really on top of things, and our waiter, Antonio was fantastic and fun.

    Service was very poor… waited 45 minutes for main dish and then wrong order served and had to wait again for 30 minutes… Server was nice, owner unapologetic.. food was ok.. beef carpaccio was great I think they were not expecting such a busy night and did not turn anyone down… customers all paid for it

    Took forever to be served, was not told of any specials, no mention of desert. Restaurant was super loud so we sat on the patio. two tables ordered food and were gone by the time we ordered.

    Excellent dinner here with a large party on Christmas Eve. They were serving their regular menu. They do not have a separate kids menu. Large dessert menu. Authentic Italian food. Overall, given it was a busy holiday evening, the servers were great and the food was delicious.

    It’s an authentic Italian restaurant. The owner and staff has always been welcoming and friendly. The pastas are freshly made along with the specials. The fish are smoked and prepared with traditional techniques of hickory wood. Great selection of Italian wines make it complete. It’s a great family run ristorante!
