    We loved the high quality food! It is the holiday party season and the loud group often frustrated us with their hoops and hollers.

    Amazing experience and our server Brandon was attentive and pleasant. The calamari was perfection. Our main dishes were the short ribs which melted in your mouth, the veal with arugula salad which was amazing and we shared the pasta with sausage and mushrooms which was delicious. We ended with tiramisu for dessert which the three of us shared and had leftover. We will definitely be back!

    Ordered the special of the day Pasta Fagioli and it had only celery, carrots & onion with 5 pieces of pasta 4 beans and tiny bits of meat. Not a hint of flavor. So sad because this normally hearty soup can be such a great experience. I told the waiter and he said our entrees are better than the soups. I had to ask for pepper since only salt shaker was on the table. My husband had the lasagna and he said it was ok.

    Usually the food here is excellent. Unfortunately, my husband’s selection was returned as the seafood was over cooked and not tasty. The excellent staff were gracious and understanding.

    A very enjoyable anniversary dinner for my wife and I. Having spent five years of my military career, i knew everything was authentic! Every course, from starters to dessert was excellent!

    Mixed review, as our food was great, the bus persons service was great and it has a nice ambiance. The bartender/server not so much. We went long periods without seeing him for refills on our drinks or placing our order.We did unfortunately have to share our meal w unforgiving fruit flies everywhere. We were able to change tables but encountered them there as well. Management was notified and they said it was due to the windows being left open for too long. My knowledge from Working in the food industry knows most cases of fruit flies come from unsanitary conditions somewhere in the restaurant. Mostly have seen them around drink stations. I would like to revisit this restaurant once that has been resolved. I would’ve given them a score of 8 out 10 but swatting fruit flies and the inattentive service brings me to a 6.5 on the whole.
