    Overall nice, quaint place. Food was pretty good but a bit over priced on some items. Service overall could be better but not bad. So overall a nice place to go as it was quiet and relaxing.

    The food was great and at a good value. Only serve beer and wine and selection was poor as most wines were $$$$ compared to entree prices. Service was terrible and slow. They appeared under staffed. In their defense restaurant had a couple larger groups. I am not sure I would return

    Our dining experience was excellent as always. Ricardo provided us with recommended meal selections…homemade gnocchi with beef tips in a light cream and veal parmigiana with lobster bisque and a fresh garden spring salad to start. The Chianti went nicely with both entrees. We followed it up with a chocolate sponge cake with ganache filling. Don’t let the size of the restaurant or location deter you from visiting. Highly recommend!
