It was nice , but I notice the manager going to other tables to ask how everything was, but never came over to us . I felt a little disrespected- after all I spent good money there. The waitress was excellent, but the manager didn’t pay us any attention. He did say goodnight and showed us the exit . Go figure

The tasting of Lombardia was incredible. Casoncelli fatti in casa was the the perfect amalgamation of ingredients. Four days later and I still crave the sweet and sour ravioli filled with roast sausage, raisins, burro and parmigiano crumbled Amaretti. Thank you crew for a peaceful and enjoyable experience.
