    We had a wonderful meal! Waitress was terrific. I just feel very CROWDED in restaurant, and wish it could be BRIGHTER. There were 6 in my PARTY! I requested a round table and we were seated at the ROUND TABLE. That made up for the noisy atmosphere.

    Salads were awesome, fettuccine and meatball was cold, had to send it back then meatball wasnt cooked done pink in the middle. Lasagna wasnt hot had to send it back. Not much taste to it. Over rated. Wont go back for along time if then. Used to be our favorite Italian restaurant. 95$ for a meal that we drove 1hr and a half to .

    We had a great experience for dinner on a Thursday night. Recommend reservations, they were full at 5:30pm. Asher was our server, didn’t disappoint. Food was excellent as always! A Meatball is a must! They melt in your mouth. Their Dirty Martini’s are fabulous also. Our food came out quickly, hot and delicious! Highly recommend if you love Italian
