Rustic Southern Italian kitchen with strong influence from Tuscany. All professional staff with over 30 years experience."It is most certainly a gourmet establishment with a menu from top to bottom that is exquisitely creative with tastes and flavors and choices that make selections so joyously difficult--and with a wine list to match food and pocketbook. Consider this the now best Italian restaurant in the state. Three cheers for Biagio the chef.""Concealed jewel, but easily accessible off the parkway. Esteemed staff that goes about taking care of your every need, especially the maitre d'. Exceptional menu with meals that make you crave for more. The homemade pasta dishes are unequaled to any place in the state. This is an elite restaurant that I will entertain my family and my business clients at. Head chef will go above and beyond his means for satisfaction of customer."

    Food was great as usual. Drinks were great but we got our appetizer before our drinks. Also we somehow had three waitresses asking us for our order. They seemed to be confused or new, we’re not sure. Usually the service is spot on. It may have been because of the holiday crowd.

    We went out for an early Valentine's Day dinner and the service and food did not disappoint. It was a bit noisy due to Happy Hour and our table was in close proximity. Our waitress Lindsay was very pleasant and provide excellent service. When we got there I had in mind what I was going to order for dinner until I heard the specials. I ended up ordered the stuff pork chop special and my husband order the salmon special. Both meals were very flavorful. Kudo's to the chef for the great special creation. Looking forward to our next visit.
