Impeccable service. I love this place for date night & I always recommend it to friends and family for a nice night out. Last time I was here I got the lamb shank (incredible). Honorable mention to Tony who helped me with a special occasion!

Food is too-shelf. Ambiance is surprisingly good. BUT: the Service is standout. Friendly, neighborly and educated server. I'll call him Tony-Rockstar. He has provided guidance on both visits. I've had the Sea Bass and Shrimp Pesto Pasta. Both dishes superior. Great value for this level of quality.

Went to lunch with 3 friends. Good and drink were delicious! Tony our waiter was off the charts! So pleasant and helpful. It was great being treated so nicely after many restaurants are still grappling with Covid effects and surly staff. Thank you, we will be back.

Amazing, epic, enchanting dining experience. Tony, a long-time server, brings a memorable warm & bright welcome to accompany every guest with their ridiculously fresh and impressive level of quality food. It would be my pleasure to suggest this place for Breakfast (on weekends), Lunch, or Dinner. My only suggestion is to serve breakfast every day of the week as the menu is super yummy I could barely choose♥️ :)

This is the place! Authentic Italian food, dine to perfection. We're from NYC area and have tried to find a ristorante that would give us that flavor. We've enjoyed all our dishes on 3 separate visits. Bread with dipping olive oil and balsamic vinegar, crispy and hot calamari frite, penne pasta with broccolini in a light wine sauce, so fresh tasting, fruti de mar with mussels, cherry stone clams and shrimp so tender, linguini that twirls around your fork so succulent. The tomato sauce (gravy) was flavorful and and not acidic. The pear salad or beet salad are all freshly prepared with shaved Parmesan and just the right amount of dressing. So good that we have told friends to go. Just so happy to have a go-to place that is consistently delicious. Wine list is good. Pizzas are hand made and very tasty. The atmosphere is simple cafe style and comfortable. Heaters above for those chilly evenings. It's not fancy but definitely worth a trip. The friendly service with a smile keeps us coming back. Maybe you'll like it too! Best to you. Jace

Husband and I enjoyed the meal very much. However service could have been better. We asked the waiter for recommendation and he said not to ask him because he eats it
