    I was disappointed in the food this evening. The calamari was not crisp. I ordered a bowl of minestrone soup, it was tasteless, and my friend ordered the lasagna, which he indicated didn't taste like Lasagna. I think we need to find another Italian restaurant.

    We were celebrating our sons college graduation. We had two other large groups we were trying to sit with and they were able to accommodate us with our own room. It was perfect and made for a very special celebration. Thank you for your excellent service!!

    Our server was very nice and sweet. We went in quite late close to closing. And we were taken care of like we were there insuring the early evening.

    This restaurant is a wonderful experience. Just being there is enjoyable. We find that the waiters and waitresses are like friends. And the menu is great. One other thing: If you want some variation that is not on the menu, they will make it happen.
