    Had a wonderful experience for dinner on New Year’s Day with our sons and their girlfriends while they were still in town. Food, service and the atmosphere was really fantastic! Also very much appreciated the selection of affordable Italian wines, which is becoming more and more of a rarity these days. Will be back again soon!

    What we ate was very good, but it is a limited menu with a lot of sausage and peppers on the menu, neither of which I like. I didn't find much on the menu that appealed to me so it was hard to order. I ended up eating a salad and an appetizer. My companion had a basic salad and pasta dish with sausage which was good. Pizza choices were good, but I wasn't in the mood for so much starch for dinner. At first we were shown seats next to a right next to a couple when there were many open seats, then shown seats next to a table of 6 - so I suggested a table at the end which was a table away from the first couple. These days, I prefer to keep my privacy and germs away from others - especially when the restaurant was probably 80% empty. Service was very good; prices relatively high for a very average-looking, boring atmosphere. I really wanted to like it more but doubt I'll be back unless it's for a lunch or menu changes
