    Very nice experience as always. Ossobuco special was delicious. Nice ambiance. A little piano music in the background added to the atmosphere.

    Usually love the food ,but not this time. Risotto was not creamy and the salmon was overcooked and dry. Minestrone was tasteless. Caesar salad was oily tasting. Pasta primavera not creamy. Lasagna was good, but not as good as before. Hope this was just an off night because I’ve had good meals there before.

    Once again, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch here. The food is fresh and delicious, and the portions are generous. My lunch date appreciates the gluten-free pasta options, and in general, the varied menu would delight anyone. The staff is attentive and friendly, but not overbearing. I look forward to returning!

    I’m a fifth generation French trained chef, this is our goto Italian restaurant! And this week, every thing seemed even better than usual! A great lentil soup, fettuccini to die for, and perfectly done lamb chops! They have great sorbets for dessert, and do try the chocolaté frozen cake!

    have eaten here several times before. substantial portions, pleasant staff that does a decent job, good selection on the menu of mostly solid preparations with a few just ok, unassuming atmosphere. they have a semi-separate bar area. modest wine list but attractive $15 corkage. overall, a very good value for your money.
