    As always, we had a lovely evening. The cook on our steaks was perfect, sides delicious, cocktails and wine prompt and mixed perfectly! Sophia was an absolute delight! It’s not often I’d request a server upon return but, I’d be seated with her anytime!

    Consistently wonderful! We enjoyed Happy Hour wine, Old Fashioned, and pretzel & beer cheese - all great! Our entrees were Caesar Salad with Chicken, and the Tofu Stirfry - also equally great! I try to eat less meat these days, and the tofu dish is perfect. Compliments to the chef! Only complaint today was the background music was turned up really loud.

    The new menu items were fantastic. We were not in a steak mood tonight. My wife had the chicken, which was phenomenal. I had the Strozzapreti Pesto, which was excellent. Can’t wait to go back.

    Delicious food with perfectly sized portions. The Ravioli Della Nonna was divine with a smooth creamy red sauce, the Chicken Parm light and delicate, and the spaghetti with meatballs robust and classic. The red velvet strawberry cake was otherworldly and the classic vanilla ice cream was a creamy gelato that stole the show! Definitely recommend!
