    Wonderful evening celebrating the birthday of our 35 year old twins. The food was outstanding and the service by Callie exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s so rare to find someone who is friendly, accommodating of allergies and a time constraint yet manages to make you feel like a valued guest. Our dinner started with the chicken parm pizza for the table, little gem caesar, then dover sole, lasagna and filet mignon meatballs. Absolutely delicious!

    Amazing experience! Started with the prosciutto, a pinot grigio, and had the tagliatelle, followed by the torta. It was all so wonderful! HIGHLY recommend the tagliatelle!! I sat at the bar, where Caesar waited on me, and he was exceptional. Highly attentive but not over-bearing; he was personable and friendly. I loved the ambiance as well. It should also be said, Caesar went above and beyond, and is an expert in his craft! Make a reservation, and you will not be disappointed.
