   Had to wait over 1/2 hour even though we had reservations. There was no notice that there would be a limited menu for Valentine’s Day so we were disappointed we did not see items from their regular menu. Husband had seafood dish which he said was fair. I had the short rib which was tender to cut but very chewy. This is the second time we were disappointed.

   I sincerely apologize for the wait time and for any disappointment , we had a limited menu to ensure a smooth dining experience, but I understand that this was not communicated in advance At your table, I personally offered to speak with the chef if you wanted something different from the menu, and you decided to order breaded chicken with a side of pasta, which was not on the menu, and we were happy to accommodate. Additionally, I’d like to clarify that no one at your table ordered a seafood dish. I appreciate your feedback and will share your comments with our team. We hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.

   Had been a year since we were last here, and we said to ourselves why aren't we coming here more. Terrific service and excellent food! Pasta Fagioli, Chicken Parm and Chicken Francese were all excellent, were large portions and very fairly priced. This is a nice neighborhood spot, large parking lot and really friendly folks. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.

   Enjoyed NY's Eve dinner....restaurant packed to capacity....wait staff did top notch job with service....Calamari with pineapple and peppers good but too much sauce and crispy calamari got too saturated....shrimp parm with pasta great....pappardelle pasta with scallops and shrimp wonderful...had cappuccino and cannolis for dessert....noise level higher than usual due to crowd....great evening to kick off New Year!!!

   Food is always excellent and the service is great! Highly recommend the chicken parm and vodka chicken parm but you cannot go wrong with anything. One of our favorite local restaurants.
