We were there for early lunch on a Monday, so it was very quiet. The food was wonderful. We both had the tomato basil soup, which was hot and satisfying, flavorful and not too much cream as so many restaurants do. I had the panzanella salad, which I loved for the preserved watermelon chunks as well as the rest of the veggies and the dressing. My husband had the veal piccata, which he said was delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive, and she made us feel very welcome. Definitely recommend!
