My husband took me here last night for my birthday, along with my cousin and his wife. One of my favorite places to eat! Great food and drinks! Their French Kiss martini is so delicious! There aren’t many restaurants that can make this tasty drink. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars for service was because our waiter never came back to our table to take our food order after bringing the drinks. I had to flag down one of the managers who then took our order. Everything from the bread to the dessert was fantastic! I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner as well as for parties since I had my daughter’s baby shower here last month and it was wonderful! My friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how good the food and service was.

This will always be my favorite Italian restaurant. We bought our daughters boyfriend with us. It was his first time. We have come for years so glad they reopened again. Jesus is always one of the best waiters!!! The ambiance is beautiful. Valet is free and tipping well is definitely a must as this staff deserves it. We always get the family style because we want leftovers. You can never go wrong coming here. My only complaint is we sat at a table for 4 with classico family style. We asked the young lady if she could box the food for us. She had the biggest attitude. I had no room to do that which is why I asked. Very shocked considering Jesus boxed our salads and appetizers and put them on a chair for our space. Her boxing the dinner should have been ok. Once she boxed that. I had space to box the desserts. Otherwise always a pleasant time. We have come with 15 or more people before. They are always a pleasure and will continue to be our go to spot for Italian. Worth the 30 minute drive.

Everything was "just fine" not great, not bad. Service was slow as it did not seem they had enough help. The food was OK. Not tasty, but good. Not sure if I'd return.
