    We decided to try the resteraunt for a family celebration for a college graduation. I mentioned it would be a graduation when I made the reservation but didn’t request anything special. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a private room decorated beautifully for the holidays and the occasion. We had first class service from multiple staff doting on us including the manager. Our server was top tier! Fabulous wine list, table side cace de oepe and veal chops were delicious with superb presentation. They quickly made accommodations for an allergy and an offered a vegetarian menu option. We are an Italian family who love to cook and eat and it’s hard to impress us but we were all over the moon with our experience and meals. They even treated the graduate to a special dessert! Definitely felt like an elevated family Italian celebration!. Truly impressed and we will be back!! Highly recommend!
