A lovely place with nice ambiance to enjoy a dinner. We are from out of town, but come here regularly as we have consistently had a very good experience.

We enjoyed the Cesar salad, braised beef ravioli, and lasagna. The portions were good. The service was good. It’s a very busy place. We sat in the heated outdoor area and it was cozy in the evening hours.

Our waitress was super; very helpful. The food was mostly ok, but not great. The lasagna didn’t taste all that great - needed more meat and spices, but the soup was excellent.
