    When we first arrived, it seems as though the host either forgot about our reservation or gave our table away. They quickly got another table set but it was set near a weird post and for four people it was a little awkward. It was a busy evening and although the server was busy, he did a great job keeping up. Food came out quickly and hot. It was some of the best Italian I have had in a long time. The cannolis are to die for! Highly recommend this spot.

    Excellent dining experience. Wife/I went for the first time on Valentine's Day. Food was great and so was the service. Pricing is reasonable for the high quality of food. No question will go back and will become our go to spot for dining in on Mediterranean/Arabic food.

    You really don't need a reservation for this place. It has walk-in seating. The service was great despite there only being the 1 waiter and 1 bartender, so things moved a little slower than a normal restaurant. Food was delicious, we'll definitely go back.
