    Overall experience was good. We attended for a birthday and the complementary dessert was a sweet offering. Entrees we ordered were great (highly recommend the five cheese tortellini with chicken and mixed sauce) however the complementary bread offered at seating was not anything to rave about. It was not warm and did not taste like it was made in house. I only ate one piece of bread and quickly realized it wasn’t worth the calories. Other than the bread, our experience was great and I will definitely return!

    We ordered caesar salads with our meal. The romaine was very wilted and the dressing too thick, not a great combination. The chicken piccata was excellent, however, perfectly prepared and seasoned. The lasagna was overkill with cheese. Overall a charming neighborhood place to eat with reasonably priced wines. I would try again now that I know what to avoid.

    The waitress was poor. Friendly but didn't get much right. Ordered Old Fashions and basically got straight Bourbon with a cherry. Wife ordered a dinner salad and got a caprese salad.

    Excellent local restaurant in downtown Franklin. Styled as a more classic Italian restauant that you may eat in NYC. Liked their menu. Pricing is certainly more reasonable than other restaurants in Franklin. As far as food, my veal was chewy. But the salad and bread were good. Alcohol prices were very reasonable.

    Ordered Veal Marsala but the veal was still half frozen and undercooked-sauce not even close to a authentic marsala.

    This is our 4th time visiting in the last year. I have enjoyed a few entrees. This event was nice because I asked them to make meatballs as the appetizers. It was not on the menu. They agreed to do it anyway.
