    The food was great, the prices reasonable and the service attentive. It’s is a small building and the noise level high, so the conversation was impacted since two of our party use hearing aids. We may wait for summer and the return of the outdoor seating before we go back, but we will return for sure.

    Been coming here but have noticed that potions (used to bring home sooo much for leftovers. We all finished our entres and also had dessert. We loved taking home food for next day. We were disappointed that we left with nothing.

    Menu items were excellent in flavor and ingredients and they’re not your typical dishes served in most other Italian restaurants.

    Restaurant is a small quaint neighborhood restaurant. Reservation was at 6:30 and we were seated promptly. Restaurant was busy. We were attended to quickly for drink order. We ordered the Woodford Manhattan chilled straight up. Unfortunately the bartender did not make it correctly. It was shaken not stirred which caused it to have a frothy layer and some ice in the glass. This is not the proper way. Considered sending it back but decided not to as I think the experience level of bartender is just not there. Next drink was the Old Fashion and it was just OK. Both drinks on their cocktail menu so you would think they would be made well. Next time I will just order wine as I don’t think they are set up for cocktails which is ok. We ordered the Calamari and Bruccheta for appetizers. They were average, nothing special. The dinner comes with a house salad and they have elevated the salad to hearty greens vs iceberg which they had several years ago so nice addition. I had the short rib large ravioli dish and it was outstanding! Best I’ve ever had. I will be back just for that dish. Others had clam linguini, chicken Parmesan and chicken vesuvio and all said it was delicious. We did not order desert. Overall I enjoyed the experience and will be back. They did not rush us so for us that was perfect. Happy to see the restaurant continues to improve and hope they continue to thrive.
