    Overpriced for the quality. $28 for calamari appetizer is ridiculous.

    Food was very good. Portions were very generous. We were celebrating my dad's birthday, and they made it a very nice meal. Ralphie was the star! He was friendly and welcoming. He opened early for us because there was a glitch in the Open Table reservation app, but he honored the reservation anyway. That was so great since we were coming from the York, PA area for this event. He took care of us until the server arrived. She was also great. Friendly; good recommendations; attentive without hovering. Our group had the chicken parm, a pasta dish with a pork ragu sauce, and ravioli. All very good. The smoked burrata (appetizer) and meatballs (side) were also delicious. For dessert, we had the tartufo and lemon sorbet; both also excellent! Grazie and brava to Ralphie and his team!

    Very nice surprise. The food was excellent, our waitress was fantastic, she was always there but not in your face. The owner is a great guy. We will return for sure.

    This was our first time eating here but it will not be the last. Our party of four very much enjoyed sharing the meatballs and calamari appetizers. Everyone raved about their entrees and vowed to return. Brian was very attentive without hovering. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. Location is a strip mall with plenty of parking.

    Service was very good. Food was overpriced for what it was. Chicken parm was tough. Calamari was also pretty chewy. Mediocre at best.

    The service was outstanding, by far the best service I've experienced recently. The hostess was very friendly and helpful (explaining BYOB and how to order from Spirits right from the table). The wait staff was extremely attentive and friendly. The food was good. We had the calamari appetizer to start. I would say it was average. The rings were very small, but tender, the marinara served with it was very good. I had the Bolognese, it was good not great. My date had Chicken Parm, again it was good, not great. For dessert we shared the chocolate lava cake. It was served with chocolate ice cream. It also was good. I will say the portions are large and the prices fair. Overall it was a good experience, nice date night spot. Will return.

    Seventh visit - will be our LAST! Completely changed. Fav appetizer smoked burrata came out solid. No smoke under the glass, no moist center. Meals were served at different times and all but one had problems with 4 having to go back to the kitchen - including a RAW pork chop. Waitress was completely embarrassed and continually apologizing. In the past all tables were full, this time restaurant was half empty. Never once did the manager/owner come to the table to apologize or make it right. I ALWAYS come with a group of 6 or 8, bringing you many new customers and you have now lost a loyal one!
