While the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for and our waitress helpful, our dishes were so-so and several came out lukewarm. For the money, I found it a little underwhelming. We were promised bread several times that never arrived. The waitress seemed to want to hear our feedback and concern but her manager did not seem at all concerned.

We met friends for dinner. Our drinks were all very nice. Our waiter was pleasant. We asked for separate checks since our friends don’t drink alcohol. Our first course of salads arrived promptly and were all very good. The mains were served to our friends and much later to us. One in our party sent hers back because it was not warm enough. Our waiter apologized and said because of the separate checks, they were prepared as separate diners. The kitchen should have been informed that all 4 meals were to be prepared and served simultaneously and at the same table. The manager stopped by and apologized and offered 2 desserts to make up for the mishap. We appreciated this and enjoyed nice desserts. What really is a problem in this restaurant is the temperature. Twice now, I along with my friends, have experienced the dining room to be uncomfortably warm. Each visit we remarked to the waiter about how warm it was. We all really enjoy the food, atmosphere and service here, but we will hesitate to return because of the dining room temperature. I sincerely hope this can be corrected.

This restaurant is very unassuming. It looks like a typical strip mall place but once inside it’s another story. The service and ambiance were fantastic. The food was some of the best I have had in a while. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone. Appetizers, entrees and desserts were all unbelievable. Great place.

We had a beautiful ladies luncheon to honor the passing of a dear friend. Via Emilia gave us a private area of the restaurant. Danny was able to accommodate the fluctuating number. The food & service were top notch! The salmon was a favorite and one can never go wrong with the chicken parm or spaghetti & mega meatballs. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

This was not good Italian food. I was told the food would be amazing but we had shrimp that was so over cooked we couldn't eat. The lobster raviolli was fishy and the pasta was took dense for the filling. We also got the creme brulee and tasted like eggs and the top was burnt. We took one bite and didn't eat any more. The item was the bottle of Jordan wine. The burrata was decent, however the balsamic was very sweet. I would not go eat here again. For the price there are better restauarants.

I had lunch there and ordered pasta with eggplant and pomodoro sauce. The eggplant was diced very small and there was way too much sauce for my liking. I was not too impressed. However, the bread was tasty and garlicy which I liked but the pasta had too much sauce to even taste the pasta itself. Waitstaff was good and it is quiet to be able to talk.
