    The restaurant's interior is lovely and comfortable. Outside dining is very nice too. The menu is diverse but not overwhelming in choices. The salads were excellent. The Agnolotti was excellent as well. The Mushroom Lasagna and the roasted chicken were ok. We'll definitely try the restaurant again. Definitely order the bread with browned butter - yum!

    The food is good, the service is good. There was almost no one there for lunch. The prices seem very high which could explain the drop off of guests at lunch from days gone by.
