We all had a great experience at Apulias tonight!! Dinner was fabulous and homemade. Cocktails were just what I love- smooth! So good! Our server Michael was kind, communicative, and on top of everything. Definitely coming back soon. What a great Italian restaurant. So glad we found it. :) I recommend the lobster ravioli, the bolognese, and linguine and clam sauce! YUM!
