    Alexis our server was awesome! Drinks were reasonably priced but did not have Miller Lite either in bottle or draft. The food came out in a reasonable time and was very good, my wife is Italian and likes the chicken parm, there is lots of flavor in that dish. Pork marsala is, the same thing, I would recommend these dishes.

    We had a great meal, and Stephan was a fantastic server. It was my first time at Weber, and it did not disappoint. My ribeye was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. I can't wait to go back and try just about everything on the menu!

    It was our anniversary we had a nice relaxing dinner as they opened. our server was Jay (so nice and patient), he explained everything we asked about and was very respectful. They treated us to dessert for our anniversary and kept the drinks filled throughout our meal. I had the Gnocchi and my husband had got the Tagiatelle. Both were amazing.

    My husband and I are in town for the WWETT show and decided to try it out and omg..AMAZING food!! Some of the best Italian food we have ever had. Everything we had from the bread to the dessert was excellent. The short rib ragu and rigatoni vodka were chefs kiss!!! The homemade pasta is freakin delicious!! We also had the calamari, market green salad with the delicious lemon vinaigrette and the soup of the day which were all fantastic. The service was also amazing. Our waitress Kendra was super friendly and made great recommendations. The atmosphere is very relaxing as well. We loved it so much, we made reservations for another dinner before we leave town. Highly recommend!! You won’t want to miss!!
