    Delightful! Sat outside on a beautiful evening. Inside busy, which is great!; but very noisy which would have made it impossible for one of my guests to hear and engage in conversation. Food terrific, staff kind and welcoming. Service a bit slow due to busyness.

    Our party of 4 enjoyed our meal of appetizers & homemade pasta dishes. Our server knows his wines and allowed us to taste two wines before we agreed to the second bottle. He was friendly, available without being intrusive, and professional. Between 6:30-7:30 pm, the restaurant noise level was quite noisy such that we were having difficulty with conversation. And this was a Tuesday evening. After 7:30 pm, it became much easier to hear each other. Other than the noise level, we had a lovely evening at one of our local and valued restaurants.

    Suzanne our waitress was phenomenal. She paid close attention to our table and our cues. Always on point, appearing at just the right moment and very courteous. The food was very good especially the burrata, but the chicken was a bit bland and not crisped. Overall excellent evening.
