    Rigatoni was cooked perfectly al dente. Nice portion for sure. Chicken dish with potatoes was also very good. Nice friendly atmosphere. Very welcoming!!! Service was also friendly and very accommodating. Menu options are very nice. Plenty to choose from and from what they say if it's not on the menu you can ask and they may be able to do it for you. Which tells you the food is made to order. Can't wait to return.
