Great family Italian. Portions are big and the service was excellent. My daughter had a perfectly cooked filet mignon with fried potatoes that were fantastically prepared in butter and oil. Our mains were a mixed bag. My chicken Marsala was fine, nothing special and the Mrs had eggplant parm that just missed the mark unfortunately. Pasta was good, sauces were fine. Desert was a big winner - a chocolate cake slice the size of three deserts. Again - our service was wonderful, the food was verying degrees of just ok. We will give it a try again.
