Really enjoyed dinner here! Drinks were made perfectly! Loved the fried artichokes, meatballs and focaccia. Of the entrees we ordered, the sheet pan lasagna was our favorite followed by the bolognese. The Marsala trumpets were good but not particularly special. Tiramisu and cheesecake were the perfect ending to the meal! I’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

Table not ready. Nice staff but felt very rushed. Christmas Eve and no decorations at all. Overpriced compared to other spots we like.

3 of the 4 people at the table got their food but the 4th person ordered chicken piccata and we had to wait more than 10 minutes for her plate to arrive. It was poor timing of the kitchen we didn’t get all the food. Those of us with our food waited til the 4th person food arrived.
