    I love this restaurant every time I come here the food is just amazing. Service is always great. They have a lemon cello that will knock your socks off Donnie the GM does a great job. The bar is fully stacked. Their food is excellent. I had to sautéed calamari today and it was without a doubt the best I've ever had. Good wine selection love the Cabernet blend. Ordered a side Caesar salad and it was a full meal. Unbelievable this place is great.

    Awesome service and amazing food. Best calamari I’ve ever had! Only downside was a slightly pricey addition of $6 per bottle of water.

    Wonderful, romantic Valentine's Day dinner. Our server Roberto was exceptional. He did not rush us and let us enjoy our bottle of wine. I especially enjoyed Sophia's sausage and peppers and the Apple Crumble dessert.
