Incredible Christmas Eve menu! The tables were set up so nicely with Christmas colored napkins. Service was outstanding and well staffed. Very well organized. The food was very delicious! We had Arancini Bolognese and Stuffed Mushroom appetizers and they were the start off the show! The portions of entrees were healthy and tasted great! I wish I took pictures of the menu to describe the entrees. We even enjoyed a few desserts and cappuccino. A wonderful Christmas Eve dinner enjoyed the food as much as the family time!

Food was so so. Bacon wrapped shrimp was overcooked and only 4 pieces of shrimp which were very small. Vodka parm chicken was very nice. Overall ok but food quality is hit or miss.

Disappointed with the ambiance being different from the one described in their website. It was quiet due to the minimal patronage at that time.
