Delicious! My family celebrated Christmas Eve here - it was packed when arrived and a little noisy but it wasn’t overwhelming. We loved all our meals - please order the grilled artichoke… it’s heaven.

Food was very good. We split the appetizer and entree and there was enough for two of us and the house wines are a bargain.The ambiance is the best feature. You can have a conversation in a normal voice, a rarity in restaurants these days.

Fabulous service throughout the evening. The bartender was professional and engaging. Angela served cocktails that were made to perfection. Dinner was just as perfect. Roberto was the consummate professional as well. He was attentive to our needs but never on top of us. Our dinner as well as the wine was outstanding. Truly a great experience throughout the entire evening.
