Our server was excellent. Can’t say the same about the greeter who was surly and when asked a question simply shrugged her shoulders and said I don’t know. We had reservations made 4-5 days previously and when we were seated we asked for a booth and were told we could not have one, that all the booths were reserved, though upon making our reservation there was no opportunity to reserve a booth. At the time we were seated there were 7 empty booths. When we left 75 minutes lster there were still 6 empty booths. Were all booths realky reserved when we arrived, I doubt it. As for the food, the veal parm was its usual excellent dish, the fettucini with bolognese was not great.

Visiting for the weekend - SO glad we found this neighborhood gem! Service was VERY good - (though they could use more wait staff - it was obvious how many tables each had to service!). Had focaccia to start - awesome! Seafood risotto was awesome - much more ingredients than risotto - perfect! Great wine list. Tons of menu choices too. Definitely “strip plaza” vibe but the food makes up for it! Would highly recommend & would return if in the area again!!

Experience was outstanding overall. It was Valentine's Day so the place was PACKED. Therfore the staff were a bit swamped and the place was a tad louder than it normally would be, but the staff were doing terrific with the crowd they had and the noise was still good compared to what it could be. Would highly recommend!!!

Very pleasant in every aspect, food was delicious and very attentive wait staff. Moderate wait time for food but came out hot and fresh, moderately expensive but food was worth the wait. Only drawback was drinks expensive and served in small glasses with lots of ice.

We’ve dined here many times and will return many more times. The food is excellent, from the appetizers to the entrees and desserts. Their menu offers a nice variety, as well as daily specials. And the pizza is great, too. Love their sauces and fresh pasta. Service has always been outstanding. We think it’s one of the best restaurants in the area!
