    We have been coming here for years. The quality of food and the service level continues to be at the highest levels. The tomato sauce is made from scratch with fresh tomatoes not canned.

    Service was a little odd. We ordered apps, entrees, and desserts. Everything was pretty good though the chocolate mousse cake was a little dry. All this was fine, but they told us they were closing and asked us to leave right after 9 pm a Friday night?

    Food was very good. We split the appetizer and entree and there was enough for two of us and the house wines are a bargain.The ambiance is the best feature. You can have a conversation in a normal voice, a rarity in restaurants these days.

    It might have been a bad night. Service was abrupt, sausage was gristly, pasta dishes just average except the homemade pasta with light tomato and basil. That was delicious. A large birthday crowd next to us didn’t help the ambiance. Host should have been aware they were coming and placed us elsewhere.

    The service was great but it wasn't crowded. Lasagna was fantastic, vegetable salad was too.
