My favorite restaurant in the area! The atmosphere is as incredible as the food and wine. I always end up with leftovers as the portions are incredible with the quality to match! Family friendly and the wait staff are welcoming and attentive.

Service was wonderful. The atmosphere was quaint. There are walking upstairs to get to the restaurant. The only problem we had was that we were told about the too and how much it should have been. 20% in case anyone needs to know. Food prices were also a little high, but food was so well worth it.

The Italian fries and bread were immaculate and I made a make your own shrimp scampi with fettuccine, with a Caesar salad and they were just the absolute best I’ve ever had! And I tried the cheese pizza my brother got which really sets a new standard for pizza for me!

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. As if Christ himself had started an Italian restaurant. Needs more tables so that more people can eat there. Our server/bartender was fantastic. “And Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer”
