My girlfriend and I went here tonight for my birthday dinner. Everything was so amazing from the atmosphere to the service to the food! Savannah was so amazing and attentive to our table and the food was absolutely divine. We got the spinach ravioli and tiramisu for dessert

My wife and I had our anniversary dinner here and we thought everything was great! The atmosphere was quiet, relaxed and perfect for a date. I had the 13 layer lasagna and my wife had the garden linguine w/ zucchini noodles and grilled chicken. Both were excellent!

When I tell y’all I had SUCH an amazing experience here…y’all. I went for wine Wednesday so $5 BOTTLES. I bought two and we drank one at the place, Pinot Grigio and Cabernet Sauvignon.I ordered mixed veggies and Brussels sprouts for appetizer. So good!!!…until I noticed pork in the Brussels, but if you eat pork, pls get them.

I think they’re really taking advantage of being one of the few Italian places in town. When we went for my friends birthday dinner, the burrata cheese on our salad had gone bad (which we did receive our money back for) and the calamari appetizer was literally 10 quarter size pieces with tons of garnish. The pizza was really greasy as well. It was really upsetting considering the price of everything on the menu, but me and our friends felt bad for our server so we tried to stay calm. I’m leaving this review because I’m Italian and I just can’t help but feel frustrated at what I saw.

We called ahead for a reservation and were sat promptly but took the bartender near 10 minutes to take our drink order. She never offered us bread either. Everything else was great.

The food used to be very good. However; they changed cooks and the food quality fell off a cliff. The marinara was bitter and the tiramisu was dry. The meal was editable but I wouldn’t recommend anyone to eat here.
