3 stars only for the good 3 Cosmopolitan drinks the bartender made. I Have been here before and food is just ok, very basic. I ordered the shrimp & scallop linguine (added spinach) this go round and totally underwhelmed. Dish had ABSOLUTELY NO seasoning or flavor AT ALL!!!! Looked like it was fresh out a frozen bag. I brought it home and put it in wok with seasoning to bring it to life.

My favorite local Italian restaurant! Not only is the food good, but the service is consistently excellent. Erica, Heather and the rest of the team always go the extra mile.

Great food. Wish it had not taken us so long to try them. Definitely need to make a reservation on Fridays and Saturdays. Lots of flavor, good portion sizes, fair prices. Save room for their apple pie cheesecake. It shouldn’t work, but it does!

Food is excellent every time I’ve gone. I love the ambiance and our service is always great. It’s a small business and we should give all small businesses a chance.

Very average Italian-american restaurant. Not very authentic and I’d rather drive to DC or Baltimore for better. The mussels in white sauce were overpowered by white wine. The fruitti di mare seafood was not very fresh and pasta was forgettable. The spaghetti squash primavera wasn’t flavorful and the squash was still pretty hard. Also pretty expensive for the quality and service was pretty slow.

As delicious as it looks. Had to taste the rose sauce… it would have gone excellent with the fish!!! Ordered a side of it and dipped the fish in it… perfecto!

The food was very average. Some dishes were bland while other dishes were overly seasoned with garlic. The prices were a little high for the food quality. I would not recommend this restaurant if you are looking for good Italian food. Also, old building with ceiling held up with duct tape.

This was my first time here and it was AMAZING!! We went for our anniversary and I’m so pleased. The portions are huge, you wont leave hungry and you WILL have leftovers! The Stella Note sauce is a must try, easily the best pasta sauce I’ve had in a long time. The tomato bruschetta is really good too, very different but delicious. The prices were OK, but honestly, for the amount of food you get and the quality of the food, its definitely worth it. The restaurant is super pretty and the staff is very nice.

I love places that give you bread to snack on. Usually it comes with butter. Here they give you amazing hot bread that is SO soft on the inside and lightly crispy on the crust. Then you dip it in the parmesan cheese- olive oil concoction that I am sometimes tempted to drink. Highly addictive.

Food and service were both excellent! And portion sizes are quite generous, I’m looking forward to at least 2 lunches from my leftovers
