There was five of us, but one dish that was served had no flavor. All the others were good.

Love this place. We come very often and always enjoy our food, wine and service. We were 4, and all had different entrees. They all were delicious. The calamari is crispy and marinara sauce great. I love that they provide delicious warm bread with olive oil and balsamic and if you prefer butter on the side.

Had Mothers Day brunch for three of us. It was our first time there but certainly not the last. The food was wonderful. Service great. I had a little glitch with my sandwich, pointed it out just so they were aware, and then amazing happened! The mistake was so minor, yet the manager made me take home a complementary new meal as if I'd ordered it to go. Again, no big mistake, and I certainly didn't ask for anything. Amazing. Anyway, it's a nice departure from all the "hard surface" noisy restaurants. There's carpet on the floor and linen on the tables, which to me adds to a nice quiet ambiance.

Something id going on with this restaurant…..almost empty two nights in a row. Good food….prices a little high for this level of Italian food. High priced beverages, too. One of our orders had to be returned for being undercooked. Will most likely not return.
