   I've been there before under prior ownership. I really expected some improvements or something different. That wasn't the case. Employees were nice and respectful, but if you like "Italian" food accompanied with bread (with is really good), isn't a sin. Being said that, I got three thin slices of bread that lasted second in a table of two people. We asked again for more bread. Same situation...three small thin slices of bread. But for $140.00 (including tip) I expected something different Not a bad experience just not that memorable to return soon...

   A great neighborhood spot for Italian food. This was our first time here but will become our go to spot for Italian. The food was exceptional. A simple Italian menu. My wife had the eggplant. It was so good even I enjoyed it. I am not an eggplant lover. I had the nightly spaghetti special with a vodka pepper sauce. Unique and fantastic Although I would like to keep this place a secret, you should absolutely try it.

   Amazing food! Great location. We came in for my son's sixth birthday party and they went above and beyond to make it very special!

   Fun dinner with friends and a very helpful and professional server. We enjoyed wine, lasagne, clams and chicken fettuccine Alfredo. We all shared delicious chocolate mousse cake. It was a nice dinner together.

   Things just seemed to go wrong. We were seated by a door, and the hostess didn’t want to move us. It took a while for wait persons to figure out how to pull down the blinds against blinding sun. They were out of the special we ordered, but later mistakenly served it, then wisked it away to another table. The server was good, but forgot to bring bread.

   We had s couple of problems. 1. The kitchen neglected to prepare one of our meals(steak) so the rest if had to wait 15-20 minutes with our food at our table got cold. 2. The prime rib special came out cold and the delay only exasperated that. In addition it was very tough. I should have ordered pasta. Salad, potatoes and asparagus were ok. This was a birthday celebration so it was poor time have this type of hiccup. We are regular customers and normally have enjoyed the food and service.

    Started with a Cesar which was crispy and delicious. The spaghetti and meat balls were great! Had a fun evening. Wine, dessert cappuccino. All good.
