    The Cheese Ravioli and a glass of Chianti were a delicious pairing for our annual luncheon. For dessert we had the spumoni ice cream covered in dark hard chocolate as well as the limoncello cake. The service was wonderful too!

    The food was excellent. Our only complaint was the serving size for the eggplant parmesan was too small. only one piece of eggplant. Portions for all other meals were large. We mentioned to our server, and she said other diners had also complained. Our check was reduced by ~5%.

    Great selection of food to choose from. Our party choose a personal pizza, shrimp fra diavlo, chicken scarppeli, and gnocchi in a bread bowl. All were tasty, portioned well, and served at a perfect temperature. Service was great. Our server Nikki was pleasant and attentive. Prices were reasonable. Definitely a restaurant will return to.

    When we arrived for our birthday party we met Doug them manager Doug who seated us. He had everything set up for us. Doug was a one man show. He sat us, took our orders, took care of our drink orders. He refilled constantly the drinks without having to ask. He delivered our food to the table which was excellent. In addition , we had a cake for our dad and when he saw we were done eating he brought the cake out with a lit candle and got everyone involved to sing happy birthday. I can’t thank Doug enough of the outstanding job he did for our birthday party. We were never rushed and chit chat at the completion of our party. I highly recommend. Food was excellent and the experience was outstanding. Thanks again Doug for making us feel at home and the outstanding job you did.

    The restaurant had difficulty with the music system and at times it was extremely loud. They reduced the volume after we complained and it was ok after that. Wedding soup is outstanding! Eggplant parm and veal parm servings were very generous. Limoncello cream pie is the perfect finish. Our wait person was also the sommelier and she was excited! Highly recommend!

    Wendy was our server and she was amazing. All 4 of our meals were delicious and the Birthday dessert was delicious. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could
