This was a return visit. We were there opening night. Then a few months later then this visit Everything was great The changed the recipe on the Italian wedding soup I think the previous one was better. It was good Short rib & pasta was great! The Blue crab pasta was very good, Except they need to back off on the pepper just a bit it was overpowering I Desserts were excellent it was a great experience want to taste the crab. Not the pepper ! Will go back I like the Resturant and like that the manager stops by. Showing concern . It well run and the staff arecexceptional Kudos

One of the best Italian restaurants we have enjoyed! Can’t wait to go back! The service is outstanding. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and so polite! Our food was prepared perfectly from a menu that has a large selection without overwhelming patrons. Extensive wine list and other cocktails. This was a perfect dining experience.

Food was delicious and prices easy to “digest.” Menu was varied and not overwhelming. Seating is one of the most comfortable of any restaurant I’ve been to. Server was knowledgeable and helpful and we were never rushed. Overall an excellent dining experience.
