I LOVED everything about this restaurant. The whole vibe and feel in the restaurant was great. It’s a tightly packed, small venue, but it doesn’t feel that way. My girlfriend and I went there on a little date night. Our waiter Andrew was beyond great. His service was top notch and was a very friendly individual. My girlfriend ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and I ordered the chicken fettuccini alfredo. The food was delicious. Fair prices. The restaurant was very clean. I am looking forward to going back to this place for many more meals and nights out with my lady.

Been wanting to go here for a long time and it did not disappoint. I recommend getting reservation. They really create an amazing dining experience. Our waiter was spectacular! I wish I got his name because he deserves the commendation. He was very engaging, funny and made great recommendations. The food tasted fresh and the ingredients were on point. The specialty drinks were all great. Our waiter brought me a seasonal raspberry shot that I loved. I can’t wait to go back. This is a great place to go with a small group and order a variety plates and share. It is a smaller restaurant so it has a nice intimate feel to it.

I can confidently say that this was one of the best dining experiences I have had. Our server, Andrew was extremely friendly and personable. We split the the lemon spaghetti with turf shrimp and beef medallions. The steak was cooked perfectly and the Chianti sauce was wonderful. For dessert we split the best tiramisu I have ever tasted and I had a small glass of the creamy limoncello. Everything was to die for and anyone in the Howell area needs to try it out. Will definitely be back!

Exceptional food and service. Highly satisfied with the quality of food. We got appetizers, entrees, drinks and dessert. Everything we tasted was very flavorful. I got the shrimp and scallop arrabiata which was very good. But my friend got the scallops with saffron risotto and it was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back!

Great food! They we’re prompt! Relaxing atmosphere! How’s this for service, I asked for their Mom’s Carrot cake! No problem, so they didn’t have any. Evidently they’re affiliated with Diamond restaurant.

Disappointed. Overpriced and the food sucks. At least the alfredo sucks. Ipaid extra to have chicken added to it and was given 2 small bites of shredded chicken. It looked like they took a little bit from someone else’s plate and scraped it into my carry out container. The sauce had no flavor and was extremely watery; pretty much just milk and noodles with a couple bites of chicken. The chicken Parmesan was also extremely overpriced for the poor quality of food that you get. Probably won’t be going back

Absolutely love dining here! Have had many items off the menu and all are delicious. A few of my favorites are the brussel sprouts, salmon, and the fettuccine Alfredo. The creme brulee is amazing, lemon drop martinis are perfect, and the sangria! You can always count on the same excellent quality, and the food is always top notch!
