    Very old-school feeling Italian restaurant...the food was generous with both traditional pastas and more modern options with chicken and fish. The service was impeccable. Our waiter, Jack, was always there when we needed him, attentive and so professional. Would definitely recommend and go back.

    Great food and ambiance as per usual. I was glad they forgot to bring their garlic bread since I always pig out on it and can't eat my dinner, but make sure you try that if you've never had it. Always so much fun and the service is warm and friendly.

    We went with four people. Unfortunately, two chicken dishes, and one fish dish was overcooked and tough.

    Selected restaurant for live music - good food reviews. We were seated in the back corner of the restaurant. No where near the live music. Corner left table - furthest area from the front door . Next to the kitchen /service station. Every few minutes servers would plop down menus on the floor - making an irritating sound - stacking a few feet high. Terrible table - never heard the music/piano. I should have saved the 240.00 and gone to Olive Garden. The broccoli in my entree was cold in the middle. I’m guessing they were microwaving frozen broccoli. What a disappointment! We will not be back. I’m glad the restaurant was busy - but they clearly overbooked. Staff not great either
