This is our favorite restaurant in town. The spaghetti & meatballs and the chicken parmigiana are the best we've ever had. I would recommend them highly. They are so good, we've never tried anything else on the menu!

My wife is allergic to pepper such as black pepper. The chef went out of her way to offer alternative versions of some of their dishes as the red sauces contain pepper. We all had wonderful meals and superior service, Jess our server was wonderful. The fact that it was my wife's birthday made it even more special.

Food was outstanding, especially the beet salad! My taste buds danced with joy! I’ve never had anything like it! Our first time visiting but we will be back. Italian food done with exceptional taste and flair! Also loved the atmosphere!
