This has been our favorite restaurant from when it was in New Canaan and Darien and now in Cannondale. We love the food, the waiters and staff, and the Owners. Angela and Sandy Baldanza are our friends, and we love them dearly. You know that they are doing something right because their staff, brothers Mario and Lauro, have been fixtures here for years. Want to go to dinner? Let's call Angela.

Always a good time! Food is consistently excellent, service is most cordial and friendly greeting us with a warm "welcome back" each time. Service is prompt, not too fast and the wine list is diverse and hits pricing points with value.

I love this place, it has a lot of charm. The portions are very generous so you can share plenty. The pork chop is scrumptious. The chicken Milanese is fantastic. The bread is amazing. The service is impeccable. It is not inexpensive but worth it.

Lovely place. Excellent service. Food is good. Would have been nice for the brunch menus to have some muffin or scone options as the menu is more lunch/dinner than brunch.
