Skipping right to the end: try the tiramisu for dessert, it was amazing. The whole meal was great; delicious pastas, nice wine, great service. But man that tiramisu was so good.

First time trying this place with my wife, and it wasn’t all that great or worth the price. The calamari was bland and didn’t taste all that fresh. My wife had the risotto and she also mentioned it had no real flavor besides the clam juice. The stake was actually very well made, the Brussel sprouts were great! Our server was very nice and did an amazing job serving us. Overall i don’t think we would go again, for what we paid I have definitely enjoyed better for less.

When I tried a local mojito, I decided to give it 2 stars. But then when the lasagna arrived, I softened up and will put 3. The thing is, I have wanted to visit this restaurant for a long time, as there are always a lot of customers here. Summary: Italian food is really good, but the rest needs work.

What an amazing night! 2nd time here and it was the best service from the hostess to our waitress. Their pasta is just so fresh, so flavorful, great combinations of protein and sauces. Their wine selection is abundant and delicious. We had the mussels and clams appetizer. They serve delicious bread of 3 types with balsamic and olive oil. We had the chocolate custard amaretto cookie dessert and it was perfect . Definitely will be coming back to try other menu items. My squid ink tortellini with salmon and thyme was on the special me u and it was soooo delicious. The waitress was kind, informative about the color of the pasta, brought the dessert menu out on time. Great experience. Dogs allowed, preferably small so they can stick to the railing since it’s a small walk way

We came here for lunch on a weekend and it wasn’t too busy. It’s a small restaurant but the food is amazing!

If you’re near by this place is worth the stop. The spaghetti was delicious as well as was the lemon chicken. Food was fresh and made exacting our liking. The bread was the only negative and since it’s usually part of the whole Italian food experience I had to remove a star because it just wasn’t good. The flavor of the vegetables and potatoes on my chicken plate made up for it. The small salad was green lettuce and a vinaigrette dressing with seasoning and it was very good. Too full for the dessert but the lemon Italian soda was yummy. Enjoy!

5 stars on all categories. The food was fantastic. My date and I both thoroughly enjoyed our pasta dishes. The sauces used were truly to die for. The waitress was friendly, prompt, and attentive thru the entire experience. We ate outside. Although the weather was chilly, the outdoor heating was more than adequate to keep us comfortable. We will be back!
