It was easy to make a reservation also on NYE and the service was good. We really enjoyed the flatbread, the size of the steak was gigantic, but the house made noodles and Pasta Al Forno were average.

This restaurant was recommended to us by friends from Texas. Three of us had entrees from the specials menu. The veal martini was fabulous. Very tender and tasty. The pork chop was perfectly prepared; so moist and seasoned to perfection. My niece loved her chicken piccata. It was nice and lemony. My sister in law had the pasta with crab and she said it was delicious. Jose our server went out of his way to make our night special. He even sent us home with a container of biscotti to enjoy with our morning coffee. Highly recommend!!
