We were so impressed by this restaurant and service! We tried a baked clam appetizer special w/bacon on it, and it should be offered all the time! All of our dishes were executed perfectly, and our server was really friendly and attentive. You definitely need to make a reservation, as it’s a small restaurant, but it’s so quaint, and reminded us of the dining experiences in Italy.

A bit overrated honestly and I guess most of the people rated 5 stars haven’t been to Italy as I’m not sure the place justifies the big name it has. Soup was good but the pasta Sauce was too salty and way too thick, chicken breast is too thick as well and wasn’t as high quality or fresh enough with too much greasy breading. The service is not as I expected as I made a very simple request to get the sauce and cheese on the side and I didn’t get that but I did get a bit of an attitude which made me uncomfortable that’s for sure

Fantastic just-like-home cooking. Have been there with family and have been there with friends, all loved it. The owner is there to talk with you about the food and everything is delicious. Great outside space too. The service is professional and quick. Portions are obnoxiously large. I strongly recommend the Burrata appetizer, arrancini (it’s a special sometimes), and calamari. The entrees have all been great too. Give it a try for dine in or take out (it travels well).

This place is AMAZING! our food was exceptional. We will be back again and again. The Short rib raviolis were melt in your mouth good. Very rich, but great! And the salmon with risotto was cooked perfectly. Both full of flavor. We loved it start to finish.

I was disappointed when I went to this restaurant. I ordered the salmon. The salmon was under seasoned and the vegetables bitter. I think they were some type of collard or turnip greens (not sure) which was fine but just overly bitter and with an under seasoned meat, it was not a great combination.

I knew the minute I walked in and heard the Italian accents that this place was going to be great. Great is an understatement. It is absolutely phenomenal. There were four of us, and we all loved what we ordered. The drinks were great too, and they have a pretty big wine selection. The staff was so nice and friendly. I definitely will be back.

We’ve been here a handful of times, and the experience has been so frustrating, because the food is great but the service is painful. I don’t usually share negative reviews but this was a particularly frustrating occasion, and they add up. It was my wife’s birthday, so we got appetizers, drinks and dinner. My wife asked if they could make her favorite – tortellini with vodka sauce (she’s a picky Italian). A dish with vodka sauce is on the menu for $19, tortellini is on the menu for $21. Somehow tortellini with vodka sauce is an up charge to $26. I asked because I was curious – one waitress told me the cheese-filled pasta is a $6 up charge, the other one came over and told us the vodka sauce is a $6 up charge. Sooo…. Which is it? That’s what I asked. Again, just generally curious so we don’t make the mistake again. Her response was, and I quote: “I don’t make the prices.” And she walked away. After being generally short with us throughout, that was the icing on the cake. The meal was over $100, but they wanted to argue over $6. Next time we’ll just go somewhere where we feel like they actually want us to be there, and know what friendly service looks like. There are far better Italian places nearby, that understand service is everything. My only regret is still tipping 20%, I should have taken my $6 back 😉 2 stars because the food is still very good.

I ordered a pescatore here which was really tasty! The restaurant has a good atmosphere and good service, but for me I think it was a one time thing I don’t think ill be coming back again since I’m not really into Italian food that much. But I enjoyed my time there!

Our server, Lisa, was fabulous! Her entree and dessert recs were perfection! We had the Pumpkin Swordfish with angelhair pasta, the vodka penne and finished it off with the Lemonciello cake. Complimenti al cuoco!
