Everything was terrific. This is an outstanding choice for Christmas dinner. Food and service were remarkable. One small disappointment. We requested our dessert be boxed for takeout. When we got home and opened the containers, both desserts were wrong. Still delicious but would have preferred what we ordered.

The food was amazing. We ordered several pastas and they were all cooked perfectly especially the gnocchi with gorgonzola. We had the pistachio Gelato and tiramisu for dessert and they were both delicious. The staff was so attentive and friendly and the music made the night feel special. We love this restaurant especially for special occasions.
