The food was fantastic. The pairing of cheese tortellini and chicken marsala was the best. I would highly recommend to try them out and see what I mean. Very well maintained restaurant with cleanliness being at the top of their list.

The food was made fresh and service was great! The price was bad either. I ordered the chicken parmesan with spaghetti noodles and my hubby ordered chicken alfredo… Both sauces were homemade and delicious!!! For dessert we shared a slice of cheesecake and a canoli. I would eat there again and again!

Prices where a bit high but not much higher than olive Garden. I felt there was more choices than Olive Garden. I felt there was a bit of over use in salt in the soup and salad. The martini was really good.

Great food. Better than Olive garden. Lol. We wen as a group and the food cam out perfectly timed. I would choose this place over any chain italian restaurant. Every plate in the group was cleaned off. The price is average for upscale dining.

Went here with to celebrate my two year anniversary and my partner’s food had hair in it. They sent it back and redid it, which was fine but they didn’t even compensate for the inconvenience. Our server also did not wear his mask correctly!!! He seemed like he didn’t want to be there and did not give us the experience we wanted to have. Food was great, but I wished our service was better. I expect better service with employees wearing their masks correctly as well.

Wonderful food. Authentic and delicious. Had only been once prior in early January, and when I returned, not only was I remembered by possibly the manager or owner, he remembered my order (sausage and peppers). Drove 45 minutes and was not at all disappointed.
