    The dishes were excellent! We ordered the sea bass, lamp chops, and butternut squash pasta. The grilled veggie appetizer and burrata salad was exquisite as well. We loved the service; our server was so attentive to our needs and did an excellent job. We also enjoyed the cocktails and mocktails as well. Thank you for a wonderful family dinner experience!

    Our second time having dinner here and honestly it was Terrific. Service was spot on. Our party of 4 ordered Lemon chicken and pastas. No complaints. Thought the ravioli was the best I’ve ever had outside of Italy. We ended our meal with coffees, biscotti and chocolate cake. A perfect dining experience !

    Generally love this place - but ordered the pasta with the eggplant sauce which was sort of tasteless. Others had fish which was delightfully prepared but thought salmon was overdone and a little fishy. Beet salad was very good. Glass of Montepulciano was average

    Reservation was right on time. We were a little early so we started at the bar while we waited and moved our drinks to the table. The service was friendly and quick and the food was really good so although it’s not the cheapest place to eat, you definitely get what you pay for. The overall high rating of this place was accurate in our case.

    Average food, not the outstanding meal as experienced in past years. Service was also not what it should be. Had to WAIT for drinks and utensils for dessert..
