    So, if you are looking for a “New Italian Concept” then this will be your place. For traditional, no! I began my meal with a starter something fried and it tasted like it had been cooked in old oil very very burnt tasting! I switched to a tray of prochetta and bread with cherry tomatoes sliced in half! They didn’t even remove the “eyes” from the tomatoes so that was an interesting bite for sure. For $25.00 please do better on an appetizer. My main was chicken in lemon sauce and noodles. The flavor was good, however there was thin sliced garlic all over my dish and thin sliced lemons and seeds from lemon all in my meal. This was very off putting combined with the gummy almost dough tasting pasta noodles. For the price of the food not bad but for traditional Italian choose a different place

    We have been several times and always enjoyed but not tonight. The dinner was rushed and dinner was brought while the appetizer plates were still on the table- no new silverware was offered. The dessert was not good- called a cheesecake but really a tart with soggy thick crust and limited cheesecake filling. Overall, disappointing and will be a bit before we go back.

    The food is always amazing, unfortunately our experience with a certain waiter has occurred twice in a row and likely we will not be returning any time soon. He seems extremely put out to be working, never waiting to see if the table truly was finished ordering, asked my husband if he wanted something and didn’t allow myself or my friend any time to speak before walking away. This happened with drink, appetizer, and dessert orders, so very frustrating!!! We had to wait for him to return each time to make a request, including water refills when clearly glasses were empty. After leaving we realized we were charged for an extra dish! How convenient the tip is based on the total, acting disinterested and unapologetic when brought to his attention to correct.

    Nice little place on Main Street close to paid parking. I had the lasagna and it was good. The service was ok we probably sat 10 minutes before the lady showed up to take our drink order. But overall it was good and we would go back.
