   Excellent choices of beverages, entrees, appetizers and desserts. The food was delicious and delivered hot to the table. It was a busy Saturday evening, but our server managed to be attentive. We will come again.

   Service was great but the mozzarella bites were bland, they said they would have live music and they didn’t, the waiter recommended a pasta dish a few minutes later she came back and said they ran out. I would think on a busy day like Valentine’s Day you would think they would be more prepared and not run out of food in their menu. And they also sat us down right next to the coat rack. It didn’t feel like an intimate setting for us.

   Very nice spot. Environment was chill. It’s one of the main restaurants in our town so everyone knew everyone there. Food was good, my son and I enjoyed the meatballs- along with the lemon chicken and chicken parm.

   Great restaurant with very attentive staff and management. Bar staff put forth extra effort to assist us making a wine selection, giving us several options to sample. We loved the Black Truffle Arancini appetizer and main entrees were excellent. Highly recommend. Wednesday‘s they have a special for 1/2 off bottles of wine. Great selection.

    My all time favorite! No matter what you order you will be satisfied. Amazing service to go along with the great food. Drinks are just as good if not better than the food. My favorite is the espresso martini. The manager Tony always makes sure his guests are taken care of.
