Calamari was very chewy, pasta was just ok and very rich. Wife’s pasta was very good. A little over priced for what it is but I’ve been there before so I knew what to expect. Wine was excellent. Server was nice and very polite.

Beautiful ambiance. Too many servers which could be overwhelming at times. The prices varied but on the more expensive side. My pasta was delicious. Thanks for a great experience!

Kept taking away appetizer plates before we were ready. Server didn’t check-in very often. Bill was slow to come. Had to ask for it.
