We had the lasagna, a pizza and the fettuccini Alfredo - all were hot and tasty. Salads and knots were great. Our server was the best. We were away for a couple years and the restaurant had undergone some small changes for the better. Opening up the dining space is a big improvement.

We had a wonderful experience. The owners of the restaurant are personable and charming. We had the Branzino, the veal scallopini, and the pasta pappardelle. Would not recommend the veal because it was quite tough. But the rest of the dinner was delicious. The rolls are served warm and they are great. Overall we had a wonderful experience.

I requested inside dining but when they seated us they put us at a table outside right at the edge of the curb of the street. Before even sitting down I mentioned my request but the host said we don’t do requests. I explained again in Italian, and he said, oh ok we can get you inside, just wait 20 minutes and a table will open. Ugh. Other than that the food was incredible, and service was excellent.
