    My daughter really enjoys this restaurant for the angel hair pasta. I brought the rest of my family there and my son and I ordered the porterhouse steak. I was not impressed. For a steakhouse it should come off hot ready to go. It seems like their porterhouse steak was reheated or something. It just didn’t have the quality that I expected but overall the service the restaurant and everything is great about this place. They just need to do a little bit better with your steaks

    The food is excellent - they have the best Veal Milanese anywhere! The service is incredible as well! The only disappointment we had was they ran out of our favorite desserts!

    I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse food options and the reasonable prices. However, I was disappointed with the second-floor dining room. It was extremely cold, almost like an unventilated attic. I would definitely return if they could accommodate me on the first floor. 5-Stars if you’re not dining on the second floor when it’s below 40 degrees outside.

    We had a reservation for 2/14/25 being my daughter’s 17th birthday and also Valentines. The food was good. My daughter’ s and I steak was over cooked.. we asked for a medium rare and got a medium well. As for our server he was excellent. Never missed a beat. I noticed the floor manager went to every table around us (literally, we were in the middle) and asked how everything was. Never looked our way. Overall I was expecting more from this place for the money spent. I did recommend it to a friend, maybe he and his wife will have a completely different experience.
