    From start to finish everything was delicious! My absolute favorite appetizer is the calamari, always have to order extra because everyone fights over it! The fried zucchini chips are perfectly crisp and we enjoyed the zucchini flower appetizer special which was equally delicious! The meatballs were spectacular as always. When it came to the dinner we all had a hard time choosing our entrees because the variety of options were better than the next so we decided on getting all different options to enjoy. The short ribs were tender and juicy a perfect treat on a cold evening accompanied by a wonderful Pinot noir. The branzino was cooked to perfection , light and fresh especially after all the amazing appetizers it was a perfect dinner option! We also thoroughly enjoyed the linguine vongole, a phenomenal classic chicken parmesan and squash ravioli. Although we were quite full, we couldn’t resist the desert menu particularly the churros and irresistible banana bread pudding! We can’t wait to return to this family favorite restaurant! Well worth the trek from Westchester New York !

    Great dining experience. Elizabeth, our server, was congenial and very competent. Our food and drink order was taken quickly and a special request for dietary needs was honored. Our food was delicious and presented beautifully. The entire staff, from a welcome greeting at the door, to the helpful valet service as we left, was so appreciated.

    We stayed the night in Elizabeth for an early morning flight and enjoyed my birthday dinner at this restaurant. One word - excellent - excellent food, service and all around great dinner experience. Stephania was a sweetheart-so attentive. If you’re anywhere around Elizabeth, make a point to check out this place.

    The 5 of us had many specials to choose from. The staff was very helpful in describing the dishes, and then suggesting wines to have with our meals. Fermin and all of the staff were always ready to help with a smile. Our birthday celebration was all the more enjoyable and memorable with the atmosphere of fun and energy they gave off. We also got to meet the chef. It was a pleasure to meet the one wowing us with flavor.

    This was my second time here. I love the food. The carpaccio is great. The carbonara is excellent and not something you see everyday on a menu. I will be going back.
