Delicious food is what I will remember the most. I was very impressed with the garlic bread, spaghetti and short ribs meatballs, calamari, and dessert. The atmosphere was also relaxing and welcoming.

The table was ready early and they sat us as we arrived. What a great policy that others don’t do. Kudos to them. Service was provided by everyone- our waiter was always around and offering, at the same time, you could see all the waitstaff looking at the table to check on us. Food was great. And the live music - on a Tuesday- was a fantastic surprise. I’ll definitely be back.

They were so accommodating to my mom (who is 93) and to me upon arrival. It took the stress out of the meal and our waiter was so patient and sweet. Food was great. It was a really nice way to spend our afternoon. Many thanks.
