I then ordered another wine o like very much and they said it was warm and they could not serve it- Then I ordered veal Parmesan and they said they were out of it - mind you my res was 6:30 pm - It is unfortunate when these things happen - if they were out of one thing I could understand. Hard to consider returning for dinner again. They need to Manage their inventory better or remove the out items from The menu or tell the customer they are out before ordering.

I personally found the atmosphere a little sterile. I prefer a little more Italian flair. I had the veal scaloppine with mushrooms and found it a bit light on the mushroom sauce and in need of salt. It came with mashed potatoes that I would replace with risotto. It also came with cooked spinach that I would replace with some other vegetable. My wife had the five cheese ravioli special and said it was delicious. My friend had the spaghetti bolognese and said it was light on the meat. Cocktails all were fantastic.
