Not our first visit and certainly not the last! We had Jack as a server and he was wonderful. Very friendly and so very accomodating. Our entrees were excellent (filet mignon and the veal Monzu) but you can’t forget about those salad and pasta courses…the ceasar salad with anchovies was super tasty. We tried both pasta course options, and honestly can’t decide which is better. The vodka sauce is to die for, but then They seriously mix the other inside a wheel of Romano cheese. Altogether amazing experience. Always worth the money. Excellent

First time dining here and it met or exceeded all of my expectations. We all had the veal (of course!) and it was divine. Everything was fantastic from start to finish - the food, the service and the ambience. Will definitely go back.

The food & service were outstanding. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was because we were asked to leave because the reservation after us was there. I understand that you needed our table, but a place like this takes a lot of time per course. My husband and I had never been there and soon realized this was a very slow/ relaxed place. If you needed us out, the staff should’ve timed things better. We were finishing our wine & dessert , not just sitting around talking.
