    Originally had reservations for a restaurant around the corner that didn’t work out. Immediately jumped on OpenTable and found this amazing restaurant. From the second we entered we were greeted. We arrived a few minutes before reservation but they were already prepping the table for us to sit. Immediate notice how cozy the restaurant is. We were seated at a 6 person table and had 5 in our party. Great space on the table: our server came up and got out drink order. Their bread basket is delicious!!! We ordered the NY strip steak that came with potatoes, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, penne a la vodka, meatballs and roasted chicken with orzo. Also had ceasar salad and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious. Great prices and a good amount of food. We did not leave hungry. Our drinks were always filled, service with a smile, amazing ambiance! I will definitely come back next time I am in town! If you are thinking about going to this restaurant, please check it out you will not be disappointed.

    Very helpful staff, we enjoyed the ambiance, and the food was delicious. We started with the bruschetta, and a Caesar salad and the main course was chicken Alfredo. We definitely will come back and recommend to everyone.

    Grabbed dinner before going to see Moulin Rouge. It was the perfect start to a wonderful night. The place was super cute and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the prefix meal with the Caesar salad and chicken Alfredo! The cheesecake and cannolis were tough to choose from so I would advising sharing both with a friend! Both the best I have ever had.
