    50th Anniversary. There were 12 of us. They handled us flawlessly on a very busy night. Service and food were excellent. Watching the fast paced staff was entertaining. High recommend this restaurant.

    The food and atmosphere was good, as well as the service. But the food took forever and we were late for a show. I let them know we had to be at a show before hand and they assured there would be plenty of time. Oh well. They were nice and the food was pretty good.

    This is a fabulous place for an Italian Dinner experience! It is family owned and you feel as though you are family! The owner even sat with us for a bit! Food was so good! First we had a Smoky Old Fashion! The best! We then had their Caesar Salad, Porterhouse Steak, limoncello Vanilla Bean for dessert and a cappuccino! Highly recommend this family owned restaurant!

    We had a seafood tower, lobster tail was hard. The best item in there was scallops & octopus. Our waiter Jovani was extremely friendly and helpful.

    Really good Italian food . We had a great variety of appetizers and entrees wine and cocktails. Great charcuterie, frito misto and scallops. Pastas in particular Cacio e Pepe were strong. Branzino and Halibut were also very good. Owner Mauricio is very welcoming and bartender Bobby is very talented and engaging.
