    Chicken was not good, overcooked and stringy. Suggest to stick to pasta dishes.

    The welcome you receive when you walk through the door is unlike any place you have been. Service is amazing and food is hot and so good. Hands down my favorite place!

    We arrived and were seated immediately. Water was poured and menus were given. We waited about 8-10 minutes and no one came to take our order. Meanwhile, another table was seated, and in a few minutes their order was taken. It was necessary for me get up from our table, walk across the dining room, and ask for someone to wait on us. After that, our drinks and food were delivered promptly. However, the accompanying bread was stale and the salad lettuce was wilted. The overall experience was largely disappointing.

    This restaurant is a staple in our family. We go here quite often. The owners and staff are very personable and always have great suggestions. Good wine list give it a go.  if you’re lucky there might be some Italian singing that accompanies your meal always a fun family time here.

    The restaurant was hot inside (no a/c) so we sat outside. Although the owner and waiters were friendly, service was very slow. Also, I was shocked that lobster ravioli was $45! The price of the specials were not listed anywhere, or I may have reconsidered. Also, they didn’t have a kids menu. If you don’t order dessert, they don’t do anything extra for your birthday. The food was tasty, but very expensive.

    We are regulars here, for a reason. This time we had two visitors from Scotland who were very impressed. Food, as always, was excellent as was the service and our outside table was ready as requested. No complaints.
