Lovely evening spent with a good friend. My friend ordered the meatball appetizer and I ordered the Bolognese. Both were excellent. The wine list was extensive and the prices reasonable.

This is probably our favorite “go to” place for a good dinner in West Akron. Food is always satisfactory and a good value, service is usually very good and the cocktail options are great! I am not great at advance planning and find that I can usually snag a last-minute reservation. Have resisted reviewing in the past because I feel like I want to preserve our secret!
