I brought some colleagues here for lunch. They enjoyed their meals and it left them feeling full. Great service, great menu, great location. The decor was complimented as we had been at a conference and the feeling of dining at home was appreciated. I have never ordered anything here that wasn't exceptional.

We had such a pleasant dinner. We ordered several tapas (fried goat cheese, stuffed red peppers, shrimp and tuna), and we both had pasta dishes( Malfadine al Nero and Papardelle with pork ragu) . Everything was very tasty and well cooked. Even the pasta was "al dente". A wonderfull approach to Italian food. Brian was very professional, helpful and kind. Ask for him for a better experience!!!!

A fun lively restaurant with ample seating at the bar as well as nice setting tables. It was a Monday evening and the place was hopping. Our bartender was friendly, helpful with drink choices. Our tapas were outstanding! We really enjoyed the garlic shrimp, the Catalan Cannelloni and the ham croquettes.
