Fabulous food served in a no-frills, casual atmosphere. The service was excellent and Chef Luciano Cibelli comes out of the kitchen and checks with every table to see how diners are doing. Great place to celebrate a special occasion. We enjoyed the seafood fettucini, chicken parmesian, and the catch of the day, which was sea bass on a bed of roasted vegetables, with beet purée and a delicious beurre blanc. Delish!

Real scumbags work here. I saw one of the employees actually pull a knife on a guy.
Who wants to go to such a dangerous place?

Beware! Staff here threatens customers with SWITCHBLADE! AVOID AT ALL COSTS, That is horrible and dangerous!
