The service was great. Nick was attentive and frequently came by the table to ensure everything was good. The food was excellent. My wife had the carbonara. Was rich and delicious with a generous portion. My lasagna was great. Definitely will be back to explore more of the menu. Wish I had left more room to try dessert. Highly recommend this place. We travel a great deal and we were very pleased.
