    What a lovely evening! My husband, cousin and his wife had a truly wonderful meal. The appetizers were delicious! We went with two specials - eggplant meatballs and baby artichokes, both wonderful. I had ravioli with vodka sauce and spinach that was delicious, my husband had an incredible seafood fra diavolo and my cousin and his wife had a monkfish and salmon dish they both loved. The best was the bakery that is attached to the restaurant! We got to go next door and pick our dessert! The rainbow cookie cake and peanut butter mouse cake were to die for!! J.R, our server couldn’t have been nicer. We had such a nice night and will definitely be back!
