    The service was exceptional. The hostess was really great and came and checked on us a couple of times and the waitress was phenomenal. I think her name was Alejandra. Our first visit there and the food was really scrumptious. The portions were perfect. The food was fresh. My veal was so tender and delicious. The lemon sauce was thick and creamy and the side of pasta. Bolognese was wonderful. They had spumoni which was quite the surprise and it was excellent. They say all of their Italian ice creams and sorbets are imported from Italy. Their wine list was impressive. I would definitely go back there again and again. You will not be disappointed.

    trying to find a place to park was a real downer. They were very busy and the service was slow and uneven.

    It was super loud in the restaurant. To the point where we could not hear our server or anyone else at the table. One of us was served a cold dish, meant to be hot, we had to send it back. The food was average, at best. Maybe it was an off night. It was our first time there…not sure there will be a second. We’re locals so we really want to like it!
