    Everything was great EXCEPT the Vongole. If you love Vongole do not eat it here. The dish was a dark broth of French onion soup with clams. Horrible... very salty & not traditional Vongole.

    Amazing menu selections - everything was fresh and delicious. The specially prepared calamari was exceptional, as was the cioppino and pasta. Our waiter Blake was spot on and very attentive, even with the craziness of Valentine’s Day. Can’t wait to go back!

    The food is always excellent, with friendly capable service and a lively ambience that is still not excessively loud or obnoxious.

    The food was delicious as usual. I love the Carne Lasagna. It's easy to have a four way conversation on the patio as the noise level is always just right.

    Always fabulous except our young waiter was awful. Didn’t listen / he asked us if we wanted another glass of wine and we said yes. He never brought it!! We had to say something and his response was he didn’t remember us asking for one when in fact he asked us if we wanted one. Isn’t that a waiters job- to remember what was ordered?
