    Food is always great and that is what brings us back. Cocktails also were perfect. The thing that was disappointing was despite our reservation, we were sat literally next to the front door and were rewarded with a blast of cold air every time someone came in or out which was often. I can understand offering this table to walk-ins. I was disappointed to receive it after making a reservation. We were nowhere even near the dining room or asked if this was OK.

    We reserved a table for 5 for a birthday celebration. we were seated promptly and service was great. The food was delicious. We had the stuffed mushrooms, caesar salads, italian salad, chicken parmesan, Chocolate cake and made affogatos with ice cream and espresso. Our waiter made the birthday dessert special and had a great sense of humor. Fun all around. Great memories were made this afternoon. Thank you!

    It's a worthy italian restaurant with the right ambiance. We have had a great time. Waiter and food are all good and satisfactory. We are lucky to have a table in time. As the reservation via OpenTable did not go through. Even l and my guest all received confirmation from OpenTable. The restaurant has a interesting attitude explaining why I don't have a reservation. And they failed to inform my other guests when I have a table after my request.

    The entree salad portion seems to have shrunk. While the new dishware the salad is now served upon was lovely, i was disappointed with the size, considering the entree salad cost $25.00 once protein was added. It costs very little to add more greens and give the guest a higher perceived value. Otherwise, everything else about the visit was spot on. Our server was very attentive and the food was delicious.
