We decided to dine here for the first time based on positive reviews. The location and restaurant itself is in a small strip mall. We were warmly greeted and seated promptly. We enjoyed seeing the great Italian-themed pictures and art on the walls and accompanying low-volume music playing to give us a touch of Italy. The Petrale Sole (Special of the Day) was superb, perfectly cooked, and the accompanying sauce and vegetables very pleasing to the palate. The Risotto with scallops, sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes (another Special of the Day) was excellent. The service was top notch and most appreciated was the attention to our stated food allergies. We were too full to experience their dessert, so we have to go back another time soon.

We love this restaurant. Typically I like to sit in the raised alcove with Italian painted scenes on the wall. However with my husband’s hearing deficit, there is a lot of noise…so we sit in the other areas. The food is great. I consistently choose the calamari piccata, love the capers! We had appetizers of beef carpaccio and fried calamari, along with a lovely wedge salad. Excellent food, great service at reasonable price! The only reason I gave it 4 stars on the food was my husband ordered the beef special, which the waiter said “thin strips of beef wrapped with prosciutto and mushrooms, instead it was ground beef, and more like a meatloaf..disappointing to my husband…

Great for a special occasion. We had the prosciutto wrapped shrimp, dayboat scallops, and the rack of lamb. The food was very good. Service was very good. We plan to try the ribeye and and filet mignon next time.

Outstanding food and service! Always a pleasure dining here. Menu is always a surprise and so fun trying new things.
