    I should’ve taken pictures. The outdoor seating looked amazing. I wish we’d sat out there with the waterfall and the heat lamps. But inside was just as lovely. We’ve never been there before and the food was awesome. The waitress gave perfect recommendations. I can’t wait to go back and try some other things. My favorite was the eggplant appetizer. The steak was so tender and flavorful. I must try.

    Went there for my birthday; the food was delicious. Server joked with my group and it was a great time. I told our server to surprise me for my entree and he exceeded what I thought I was going to get. It was probably the best pasta I’ve ever had and I’ve been to Italy! I definitely am coming here again!
