    All the dishes came out promptly. Service was excellent. The ricotta dumplings were the highlight of the meal for us.

    Great food and great vibe. We had a birthday in our group and the birthday cake gelato was the cherry on top if our experience there.

    I went with my husband and my two children. We rated the food to our liking and agreed that the pasta was what we liked the least. The attention, service and atmosphere was excellent. In fact, the waitress was very kind in helping me pay with the InKind application where "they would give me $50 dls in minimum consumption of $150 or more". In the end, the application made the adjustment it wanted and they only gave me $25 for a friend's referral. Our total was almost $280 and we left $60 dls in cash tip.

    A friend & I came here for lunch. We sat at the bar & the bartender was the perfect host. Personable, kind, knowledgeable & funny. He made the perfect wine & meal recommendation. The fish was cooked to perfection & had a sauce that was divine. We were celebrating & he surprised us with a special dessert!

    All was good! Ordered the pizza. Not sure I’d go back to a place that’s supports Planned Parenthood. The one menu item I wanted donated $1 to PP. disappointing I can’t go out to dinner and enjoy a non political evening

    All food I ordered was delicious! Especially the steak that came with basil, Lucola, and small onion is one of the steaks I've tried ♥️ And our server was so friendly, I ordered the menu she recommended, and everything was satisfactory !! I will be there soon again
