This restaurant never disappoints! Many smaller rooms which keeps the noise level to a minimum. You can actually talk with the person you are with and hear them!

I’m sorry to say that this was one of the most disappointing meals we have ever had. The best thing about it was the waiter and the crème brûlée. We brought people from out of town because they wanted Italian food. I had to apologize for taking them there. But we had never been there before and will definitely not go back. Sorry.

The food was good, but the atmosphere not. There were disorderly children screaming and using the dining room as a playground. The parents did nothing, but the restaurant should have.

The fried calamari appetizer was fresh and cooked perfectly. The lasagna was some of the best I've ever had. The portions were plentiful and I felt the price was worth it.
