    Food and wine were excellent. Service was exceptional. I had short rib risotto which was great. Brought friends from out of town for their first visit and they loved it. We will all be back.

    Alyssa was a great attentive server. Dinner was exceptional. The Parmesan crusted chicken and Italian sausage flat bread are great. The smores budino for dessert was the perfect size after being stuffed from dinner. I ordered a wine flight at the table and followed Alyssa’s suggestion. Great meal over all and the service puts it over the top. Never a bad experience here.

    Really nice ambiance, if a party of 1 or 2 request a sofa seat. It's in a separate room and more quiet. The service was excellent, everything came incredibly fast. We shared the pepperoni flatbread, but the charcuterie board looked amazing. The gnocchi in vodka sauce was good, as were the mini cannolis. We went before a concert, but would go just for a meal, drinks and appetizers, or dessert. There is a cover charge if there is entertainment, but not if you go earlier.

    There were 4 of us for dinner. Food was great, we had salads, short rib ravioli with vodka sauce, spaghetti and meatballs, and rosemary chicken. With dinner we had wine & beer - everything was GREAT!!! For dessert, we shared chocolate cake with ice cream and tiramisu. Again, everything was GREAT! The restaurant looked beautiful with the Christmas decorations. Music was just starting when we left, sounded like FUN! We had a 5:00 reservation to fit a busy schedule. Savanah was our server and was friendly & attentive. We really enjoyed her! When we left, we ended up buying a gift certificate for $100 and got a $25 bonus as we will be coming back again for sure!
