Excellent food, but be sure to come hungry. Al you can eat for $50/person. However, no provision for a kid rate (under 16), which is disappointing. Server was not as attentive- had to ask for water refills, did not inform some food would take longer, and had to ask bartender to get attention of our server to get the bill.

We luckily picked a slow time, 6:00 PM on Wednesday. Service was prompt and courteous. Everything came on time and as requested. My chicken Milanese was done to perfection. The garlic bread was fresh and just toasted. My wife’s gnocchi with mushrooms was incredible. My picky teenage daughter ate every bit of her spaghetti and even the meatballs. Our guest ate all his spaghetti and chicken. Everything was made from scratch; nothing tasted premade.
