    Wonderful meal - everything was delicious and exactly what you’d expect from a nice Italian restaurant. Loved the Caesar salad, the carpaccio and the profiteroles - yummmmmm!

    My goodness - the wait staff is phenomenal! The menu options are perfect mix of choice- loved the olive tapenade served with the bread selections. Food presentation was creative & appealing - particularly the octopus appetizer! The Resturant seemed the center of a busy legislative session & we were greatful to get a seat ! Welcoming, yummy…will definitely return.

    We were celebrating by husbands 60th birthday and we did not receive any special service. I reminded waiter that it was his birthday and he didn’t even bring out a dessert with a candle. Other than that, everyone’s meal was good except the rockfish special which I would not recommend. I would not recommend this restaurant for a special occasion.
