    Service was excellent. Very lovely place. My only complaint was the chicken Parmesan was a bit dry; it needed more sauce.

    This gem never fails to please. Although it is located on a busy corner, it is quiet and inviting inside. Service is first-rate and menu selections are many. I had a salad made with fresh calamari, tomatoes, and various greens. It was large and delicious, so I opted to take half of it home with me! My date had an equally delicious salad made with grilled shrimp. We finished the meal with a slice of cheesecake and coffee.

    This place is amazing. Friendly service, delicious food and nice cozy atmosphere. I got the prefixed menu for Easter. Thr lamb chops were out of this world. They have the best Tiramisu ever.

    Only a few diners in the restaurant, and we had to wait and flag down the staff. Food was OK, a little salty
