First time here. Everything was excellent! The garlic knots/rolls was amazing! The salad was the best we’ve ever had. The fried artichokes were really good. The pollo Amanda, I was expecting a thicker chicken breast, it was dry, but it was still very good! The cannoli was great as well! No complaints! Great ambiance. Definitely stop by!

Best Italian restaurant we have been to in a while. Extremely cozy and romantic vibe. The salad is excellent. The garlic rolls are very good. Both entrée’s we received were large portions, great flavors, steaming hot and delicious. The service exceeded expectations. Overall, our dining experience was fantastic

Very disappointed in the food on our last visit. Ordered fettuccine alfredo. Unfortunately it was VERY bland and served with egg noodles not fettuccine. I didn’t eat even 1/3 of the meal. The server was kind and made sure our water glasses were filled and empty plates removed from the table. Restaurant could use some attention, particularly the wood on benches and front door…maybe new paint(?)

This is the best Italian restaurant ever! The atmosphere is top notch, as well as the staff. All of the pasta is freshly made, and their salad is to die for! Always my 1st choice when eating out!

Absolutely top notch. Very impromptu decision after school shopping with my wife and a 3 y/o without reservations at 6pm. We were told 20-30 minute wait and we were seated in less than 10 minutes. We had Emma as our server tonight. She was knowledgeable about the menu and did a fantastic job. The food was the Southern Italian food we had been longing for. First visit tonight and this will be added to our rotation of date night dining.

We had a nice, traditional Italian dinner here. I love the rustic booths and classic decor here. The sauces were homemade and the meats were good quality. The fresh bread and salad that came with the meal were great! I’m not surprised they sell bottles of their vinaigrette dressing. It’s not your average house salad. You can tell this restaurant has pride and it’s very welcoming at the same time. It’s a must dine.

I mean this is a nice place with good food. We enjoyed ourselves, the server and service as well as the food. My only comment is the price / value for the money we spent just wasn’t there. Two people, no alcohol and a bill north of $100 for dinner for two with an appetizer. That’s steep regardless of the restaurant, history or quality of the food.
