     the food here is always very consistent… Their pasta really really is delicious… Ever since they got their new pasta machine from Italy… The service is excellent. Our server was Zoe and she has been our server in the past… She spot on super friendly genuine… Thanks for a great evening.

    Great food and service. Our only suggestion is that the chairs in the outside patio dining area are way too low for the height of the tables. It puts you in an awkward position and we heard others around us commenting about the same.

    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the food and service. We appreciate your input on the patio seating and will look into it. Hope to see you again soon!

    Great dinner right after work. We loved everything we had to eat — the calamari appetizer, fusilli, tagliatelle, and chocolate ganache cake. The pasta dishes were especially good!
