    Loved the food but this is a nice cozy place so there really is no reason to have the music turned up so loud - it loses its cozy, relaxed vibe.

    Homemade pasta is the best. Chicken Parm is also excellent. Ambience is lively and somewhat loud, for a small venue, but not so loud that you can't carry on a conversation. Always very enjoyable.

    The food is good but the service was incredibly slow. Ordering felt like we were a bother to the server and we didn’t have a server even take a drink order for up to 20 mins after we sat down, and didn’t get food until approx. 1.5 hours after sitting.
