    We enjoy having dinner there with our friends. The food is always good and the service excellent. They do accommodate gluten free.

    Took a friend for a birthday lunch. Decided to share: order three courses and we would split each one. Fried calamari was good. Gnocchi with blush sauce was covered in melted mozzarella- too heavy. Chicken caprese was just ok. Potatoes and veggies were tired. Bottom line - food is just ok. Service could be better. We asked for three courses to be shared- brought the first course and the next two delivered together- not cool. Never offered a dessert menu - would have liked to share a piece of cake or something. Cappuccino was pretty good. With tip $100. Probably about $10 more than should be. BTW - we were the only 2 in the restaurant from 11:30 until 1 pm.

    Every time we eat here the food and the service is top notch. Authentic Italian food. Don’t ask for meatballs, don’t put parmesan cheese on your seafood pasta, etc etc. The ox tail pasta is incredible…

    It took a long time for a server to come to our table and open our bottle of wine. The sacchetti was very good but the salmone was dry. The size of the table was too small and the setting made us feel like we were on display. Probably the worst seats in the restaurant.

    Unfortunately we did not have a good experience. We came on a weeknight for a business dinner. The appetizers were ok. Salads good. Then came the main course. The pasta dishes were good. After our waiter told us about how fresh all of the meat and fish are, two of us ordered the veal Milanese. What a disappointment!! The coating was mush and the veal tasteless. It appeared to have been frozen and defrosted. Not at all fresh as the waiter had bragged about. We will not be returning.
