    Staff was very attentive and friendly. Price is a bit high, but you get what you pay for.

    I wish I could give 4.5 stars! Dinner was great, almost perfect and I would definitely return in a heartbeat. The calamari was outstanding with tender strips of calamari as well as lightly breaded onion, green beans and pepperoncini rings. The toasted ravioli was deceptively good. My entree, the chicken lemonata was very good but the chicken was a little dry. The side of angel hair pasta was delicious. The cannoli dessert was possibly the best cannoli I’ve had.
