Just had an exceptionallly good meal here. The Meatballs made a great starter, followed by a delicious salmon entree, and finished off with a super yummy pistachio cheesecake. The others in our party had shrimp linguine, parmesan chicken, and cioppino. All were very pleased with their choice. Service was excellent as well

Had a fabulous dinner tonight here. Our waiter Patrick was amazing. He paid attention, was quick, and our food was also amazing. Highly recommend for a casual date night, or a fancy night out. You will not be disappointed.

The restaurant is very quaint and we enjoyed our table. The food was good but too much olive oil for the garlic sauce. The cost was very high for the quality of food.

Nice atmosphere at the bar. Not super crowded like the other places nearby, although it did fill up by the time we left for our dinner. The arancini was so good. Nice beer selection too. Good service.

My friend and I had brunch here this past weekend. Still thinking about how did they make their sausage patties! They were so good. It was all delicious!

Food was decent. Had Straberry salad (good) and chicken Alfredo. There was 4 small pieces of chicken in the entire dish. I expected the dish to have one full chicken breast. The meal brought out was cold. Enjoyed our server and atmosphere was good. This particular meal receives a D+

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very kind and accommodating. The food was amazing. We had the Italian fry bread as an appetizer which had an amazing Rosemary honey and an apple-grape-goat cheese sauce. For our entrees we had the pappardelle pasta and the strozzapretti pasta. The pappardelle came with an amazing ragù and the pasta was freshly made. The strozzapretti had a great brown butter sauce with zucchini and walnuts, and once again the pasta was super fresh. I would recommend this place to everybody.
