    The staff was attentive, food was delicious, and they were attributed to our 3 year old grandson’s food and beverage needs. The wine tasing was also quite good. Friendly local vibe and quite good!

    Jennifer was an excellent server, always anticipating our needs! So friendly and so helpful! Food was delicious! I had the steak Marsala special and it was outstanding! My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs. While they were good, there were way too many herbs in the meatballs. We will definitely be back!

    The food was phenomenal, and the portions were large. Our server I think was a manager but service was exquisite.

    The food was great, but the brussels sprouts had a little bit too much mustard on it, and the charcuterie board meat did not smell good. They had a nice wine special, and the waiters and staff were excellent !!!!!

    For lunch, they have an excellent selection of delicious sandwiches with combinations of ingredients that are savory and different than the ordinary ones you see at other restaurants. The food is consistently prepared and served by attentive and polite servers.

    We were initially sat at a small table near the door on a cold winter day. We asked to be moved to a cozier booth and the server was kind and accommodating. The truffle fries were not great. The pasta was good, however the grilled chicken was tough and not very flavorful.

    Always a favorite! A great place to relax and enjoy some of the best Italian-inspired dishes around. The portions are hot, fresh, flavorful, and filling. There is a great beer and wine list to satisfy everyone's taste and their appetizer menu has different flavors that everyone can enjoy. We love the atmosphere as it is warm and inviting; you can definitely relax and enjoy the company of those you are eating with. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We'll be back!
