What an amazing experience! The pizza was amazing. The rack of lamb was absolutely stunning. Great preparation cooked perfectly. The appetizers were fantastic. Nothing is pedestrian. They take everything and prepare it just a step above. The service was very spot on our waiter Romeo was very attentive and genuinely loved his job and was very good at it. The wine list was carefully put together with great Italian selections that paired fantastically with the menu . Thank goodness this restaurant is not too close to where I live. Otherwise I’d be there at least twice a week!!! 😂🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

My husband and I brought our adult kids and their partners for a Christmas dinner. It was lovely, delicious and festive. Chance was our server, he was a GEM! He didn’t miss a beat…and we loved his personality and professionalism. His team backed him up flawlessly. The kitchen knocked every dish out of the park. The bar did an excellent job with everyone’s cocktails. Thank you, Eddie V’s! Merry Christmas and cheers to the New Year! The Stantons
