We had dinner this evening before a theatre event and everything about our experience was terrific. Our waiter was attentive throughout our meal and the food was delicious. One of our party used to live in Italy and he commented that the food was as good as in the native country. i highly recommend this restaurant to others and we will definitely visit again.

Great food and service. We had two young children with us and they took lovely care of them bringing their food right away and giving them dessert as a bonus. A lovely evening was had by all.
