    The menu has a good variety. The food was excellent! Tasty with a nice presentation. The Chef Antonio is wonderful, accommodating & friendly. He offered us a shot of their homemade Bailey’s… delicious! We ordered a few bottles for Christmas.

    We love nothing more than to be greeted by a native Italian speaker at a restaurant! Food was fantastic. My husband said best linguine vongole in a while.

    Met old friends tonight for dinner and sat at a high hat table in the bar. Just a fun and warm place to meet for dinner. Nino and staff are always so welcoming. Thank you!
