    All the other reviews are accurate with the following exceptions: Had spicy Rigatoni, was excellent. Bread was awesome, warm and flavorful. Service was spot on, waiter kept checking to see if everything was good and if we needed anything. Water was constantly being filled. Only issue I had was lack of wine choices, very limited and temperature was overly warm for a red wine.

    Everything was great from apps to desserts and the wait staff was even better! The only thing I didn’t like is you have to put your whole order in it one time what if I order appetizers and I’m feeling a little different after eating them I still gotta eat the meal I ordered them doesn’t make sense !

    Good neighborhood place. It wasn’t busy when we were there, but it still took quite some time for our food to be served. Didn’t enjoy waiting…but I guess that’s the price of freshly-made food. We will continue to eat there.
