I passed by this restaurant for years. We thought it was an expensive high end restaurant as we always saw exotic cars at the valet. But then we tried it.

A foodie level Italian restaurant recommended by an Italian colleague: calamari is crispy outside and tender inside; beef short ribs are tender and flavorful; seafood is fresh and abundant; veggie soup doesn’t look appealing but taste good and is perfect for a cool winter nigh on the patio. The only disappointment is Tiramisu because the cream/cake ratio is too high for me. Will definitely return!

Always delicious, authentic Italian. The patio is wonderful and the wait staff helpful and accommodating. We have been eating here for more than 25 years and love to sit outside at the round tables that are conducive to good conversation with five or more.

AMAZING food, service, and timely order in which food was served. Very authentic Italian food, perfect balance of tart and creaminess. We got the bone in NY strip special as well as the sole filet. Starter was buratta and we ended with the chocolate tart. The house dessert wine was delicious… will be back for sure. Andres, our server was amazing.

It was my first time here and we came for the Mother’s Day special menu. $69 for a pre-picked menu for adults and $29 for the same pre-picked menu for my child who is 12 and under. So the appetizers were the best part of our experience. I had the tomato soup and it was my favorite part of the whole night! My Mom had the artichoke salad which she enjoyed and my son had the meatballs which he also really enjoyed. Then we got our entrees. I got the sole with a side of asparagus, my Mom got the bowtie salmon alfredo and my son got the meat lasagna. So I rate my entree 3 stars. The sole was swimming in butter that had somehow already hardened when it got to me. The asparagus would have been beautiful if it was just cooked with some salt and pepper. It came drenched in Jack cheese, which sounds delicious but it was lacking flavor for me. So I ate it but would not order it again. My mom had a similar experience with her entree, she said it lacked flavor and felt super fatty at the same time. My son did not like the lasagna at all and we had to send it back and thankfully they gave us more meatballs (my Mom and I each tried a tiny bite of the lasagna and it did have a weird flavor that I couldnt put my finger on. The after taste was the nail in the coffin, so there was merit behind him sending it back) and lastly the dessert I would give 4 stars. I ordered a chocolate flourless tarte covered in powdered sugar which was quite delightful. My mom and son each ordered the lemon cheesecake with strawberry drizzle sauce and there again, was a weird aftertaste when eating the cheesecake. Overall, the experience was super pleasant. The waiter and hostess could not have been nicer! The hostess made it a point to stop and char with my son which he enjoyed and she even offered to take pictures of all of us which was super sweet of her.

Such a beautiful elegant restaurant. The salmon is the best I’ve ever had. And the chocolate fudge cake was divine.

We were seated in a nice looking room. Menus were delivered quickly and we were asked about water. It took quite some time for our server to return to take our drink order. We ordered 4 drinks and only 3 arrived. The 4th drink took at least 20 more minutes to arrive. 2 different sets of drinks were brought by our table but they were not what we had ordered. We ordered our food and soups and salads came fairly quickly but the Beet Salad was not properly prepared and very unpleasant to eat. It had a ring of squash and chunks of squash. It was almost completely raw and extremely unpleasant to eat. They cleared the plates that clearly had just a few bites taken but didn’t ask if there was a problem. The soup was good but quite a bit under seasoned. The people at the next table were complaining about the service. The table was small and so full that a glass of wine spilled. Entrees were very enjoyable. We waited a long time to get dessert menus and ordered dessert. Getting the check took awhile too. On the way out we spoke to the owner who dismissively said that no one is perfect. At these high prices we expect good food and good service. I really don’t see me coming back here again. I must say that the restaurant was packed so I have to believe that many people were treated much better than us and the table next to us. Parking is easy.

I arranged to get together here for a reunion of a few of my friends (13 of us) for dinner last month. The food and wine was great. The service was good. I love the ambience. My guests were all happy. I just had a couple of incidents that I called the waiter and he snapped at me in front of my guests because they were extremely busy and he was a bit late attending our table. That’s why I gave it a 4 star. Otherwise all together I was happy.
