This restaurant is awesome. They have the the largest wine selection around. The food is phenomenal and the bread is unmatched. I go there when I’m craving that warm bread and basil oil mixture. They have been here forever and never fail to hit it out of the park. We love to attend their special secret dinners as well.

Update: we made a last minute decision to come here for dinner and again this place did not disappoint! The service was impeccable! Our drinks never got empty, the bread is soft and yummy. Our meals did not disappoint as well. Love this local place so much. Even after my first review 2 years ago this place is still amazing!

When we walked into the restaurant we were promptly greeted and seated! Our waitress was Brook and she was amazing. My food was AMAZING and so was my wine. The gelato was awesome as well. The restaurant was really busy and the staff was on point to accommodate everyone.

I’m not kidding when I say this is the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Try everything. I was lucky to have gone with a group and shared plenty of appetizers and shared bites of entrees so trust me, there is not a bad food item on the whole menu! There is, of course, the dark lighting to contribute to the ambiance so be aware of that ahead of time. It wasn’t like eating in the dark, but it was enough to notice and all my pictures came out strangely yellowish and “off”. Staff had great knowledge of the menu and recommended plenty of options, and drinks were well crafted!

Amazing bread right off the bat, added a side of marinara, done right without the sour note that is at some restaurants.

Family of four. Mom, dad, 15 and 17 yr old son’s. We ordered Fettuccine con pollo, Lasagna, pep pizza, parm chicken sandwich. Not one of us finished our plates. None of us were impressed at all. Food was very bland, no flavoring at all. Pizza and the service is the only thing I would recommend. On top of the four drinks, I did order a glass of McIlroy and they never brought it out with my dinner. Don’t let the online presentation of the food fool ya. Definitely would not spend another 150.00 on dinner here again.

I recommend not eating too much of the bread it will be difficult to accomplish. Get the garlic chips. The service is excepción. The calamari were perfectly cooked. The menu has a lot of variety. I can recommend the penne with sausage. The Alfredo with Pollo was rich and creamy definite recommend. The bar has no limit on cocktails the wine list is good. Next time I will test the ribeye as it peeks my curiosity.

Sat at bar. Service personnel was friendly and the drinks were promptly served. Unfortunately, everything went down hill after that. Waited over an hour and fifteen minutes for our entree that never arrived. Meanwhile the staff abandoned us and didn’t refill drinks or clean up our area. We won’t be back and this should a zero star review.

The atmosphere is pretty loud in there. With the high ceilings it echos a bit. The food tasted fine but was over priced and I left hungry. There wasn’t much fish in my risotto that cost 30 dollars. But the flavor soooo good! I wish they would have offered a salad or soup with the meal. The bread with oil and vinegar is always a welcomed touch. It took forever for someone to take my order and to give the check. Probably at least 10 minutes to get my check after my table was cleared and my waitress had asked if we wanted dessert. The only reason I will go back is to try the Cioppino. I hope they can some how redeem themselves and I can add another star.
