Don’t be fooled by the location of this great restaurant. It is tucked into a shopping plaza by Lowe’s, but it’s well worth searching out. I would highly recommend making reservations as the places very popular and has limited seating. We went on a Friday night at 5:00 and had to wait 30 minutes for a table. It was worth the wait as everything we ordered that night was delicious.

Terrific Eggplant Parmigiano with a killer risotto! Loved the sour dough of French bread and Caesar salad as a starter. Michael was my bartender and server. Go with his recommendations.

We had been wanting to try eating here ever since we moved here 9 months ago, and finally remembered to make a reservation last night. There were 3 of us, we got there about 15 minutes early and they seated us right away. (Yay!)

Excellent food. We had the eggplant and lobster ravioli. Both had excellent flavor that was a reminder of our trips to Italy. We recommended. I need to point out Jonathan. His service was outstanding! One of the best I have had in a long time.

Another amazing meal here! John is a great waiter and so happy to have this pizza back! I’m not sure how they make the crust but it’s the best I’ve ever hard! Highly recommend the margarita pizza! We also had the caprese salad that was amazing!

I had a wonderful dinner here. The food is amazing, the service was excellent. Very cozy. The risotto bites were delicious, sourdough bread was warm and crusty. I had the chicken caprino and it melted in your mouth. Apple crostini for dessert was heaven.

This is my second negative experience with two much crushed red pepper. I’ve now had the penne a la vodka and sacchetti and neither entree mentions crushed red pepper. A little adds some flavor, a lot makes it too spicy. Neither entree is supposed to be spicy. I’ve asked the manager. Feedback needs to be given to the kitchen to ease up on the crushed red pepper.
