    My dear friend and I always meet at your restaurant to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. We have never failed to enjoy the service - from the minute we walk in the door, through our hostess and server, as well as the delicious food. Thanks for being consistently great!

    Read reviews about being off the beaten path from Little Italy and glad I tried it. Excellent food, great service, and portions are perfect for two: appetizer, salad, and pollo were great to share and fully stuffed.

    Our favorite neighborhood restaurant: great pasta, good pizza (crust a touch too thick to my liking), good happy hour, great value for pizza Tuesday, responsive service (special shout out to Olavo). and our favorite lasagna on "Funday" Sunday.

    Went for dinner prior to a movie like many others on Saturday night. The place was packed with a number of large parties for which this is a good place. Service was very energetic and excellent however the food was fair to good at best. However given its ambience and energy I'm not certain having excellent food would materially impact their business.
