The service started out strong, then petered out. Our meal, however, was quite good, and we would most likely return.

Great spot for an authentic Italian meal. Chicken Marsala is the best and Isaac makes some espresso martinis to die for.

The service was amazing. Quick and attentive. From appetizers, drinks, and meal everyone was on top of it. Our waitress spoke English and Spanish which was nice, and she explained their specialties and provided great suggestions on drinks. Two reasons why I did not give more stars, the food needed more flavor, the Salsas that came with the meals were way too spicy, and it was a bit pricey. I would give it another try, maybe try some different dishes.
