We had the Buratta appetizer, Veal Chop Parm, and Chicken Parm. All were excellent! The spaghetti sides were wonderful as well. Wait staff was friendly and efficient. The dining room is beautifully decorated. Only inconvenience was the noise level. VERY noisy. The overall experience was great and we will return in the future.

The food is well prepared and very tasty. The only thing that you should be aware of is that the pasta in the pasta entrees is extremely "al dente". meaning that it is very firm. No one I know enjoys "mushy" pasta but, if you prefer it on the soft side, you may want to tell the waiter when you order.

To start, we had great cocktails. For dinner we shared, veal Milanese, lamb osso bucco and chicken parm. All delicious. For dessert, we had Italian pear cheesecake and gelato. Everything was terrific. Very enjoyable evening. We weren’t rushed. Loved our server Nicoletta. Go there!
