   Food and service was excellent. We have been to their other location which is also very nice. Selections of food was wonderful and they were very willing to substitute something on a food selection for the customer. Beautiful facility .

   Came for a birthday dinner. Put in reservation notes in two areas that it was a birthday. Told server we had a birthday. Gave us nothing for the birthday. Spent $125 before tip. Very average Italian food which is overpriced. Server was quick to give bill and return it. Not a great experience and will not be going back.

   Our server, Ava, was so friendly and patient. We wanted time to enjoy a drink before ordering and she did not rush us. She made answered questions and made recommendations about the food. We stopped in the bar for a drink after dinner. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful as well. This was our first visit and we were very impressed. The Valentine’s martini was AWESOME and should be a regular menu item. 💖 The only thing that was missing was that cozy feeling of traditional Italian restaurants. It was very modern, open and a bit too loud. We will still be back as the service and food make up for the lack of coziness.

   The manager was very sweet, and the service was okay. But, that was to be expected since it was Valentine's Day. The food came out very fast, almost as if they had food premade. We ordered calamari that was bland. I ordered the veal saltimbocca and I couldn't finish it. I let the waitress know that I did not like it, but she did nothing about it. The vegetables were also bland, and the potatoes tasted very flaky and dry. My husband ordered the veal parm, and it tasted better than mine but still, lacked flavor. His side of pasta was very underdone that he did not finish it.

   This restaurant was awesome! We spent Valentine’s Day 2025 there. I was very impressed with the food which was over-the-top delicious! Our server was excellent. The music level was perfect and I’ve spoken to so many of my friends about it that they must try it at least once they will not be disappointed! It was well worth the experience!

   Third time we have dined here. Zero complaints. Food is delicious and the wine is too. We always buy a couple bottles to take home.
