Our server was friendly yet professional! Our dinner was exceptional! The dessert was the best we have ever had.My two critiques would be if the artichoke hearts were egg battered with a lemon butter sauce they would have been perfect! The offering was good but could be better. The fresh pasta for the fish dish was ok but dry pasta is the better choice with a fish sauce.We will come back, can’t wait to try other entrees.

A true Gem of a restaurant that is located just outside the city. As you enter you are greeted by smiling faces and a warm and friendly environment! Truly southern Italian, the menu transports you to southern Italy and prepares you for a wonderful culinary experience! The specials are clearly the Chefs favorite weekly creations and come served with a whole lot of Amore' ! The food quality is amazing and the serving size is perfect! I started with the grilled Octopus, which was perfectly prepared and as tender as it gets, I highly recommend this! I had the Duck and tasted the Rare Tuna special, both excellent! We finished with an espresso and gelato, a perfect Italian ending. Prices are more than fair for the quality and service and the atmosphere transports you to a southern Italy Trattoria! This Gem is truly worth the trip, we cant wait to return!

After 2 years in America I finally found out where I can eat good and authentic Italian cuisine. I love this place because it does not have a simple menu but a variety of dishes, also made at the moment on request. I have experienced the Italian warmth and a kindness in the service that is hardly found here in America. Also fresh homemade pasta and desserts of good manufacture. Impossible not to return

The service was quite poor. We’ve reserved a table, but when we came on time, they made us wait for our table for 30 minutes. After that we just left without even trying the food.

We normally sit on the patio but I booked indoor this time and we were seated right at the intersection of kitchen traffic, bathroom traffic, takeout traffic, and people standing around the bar. Plus being told we have to give up the table by 715 is not helpful when the food takes 45+ minutes. We didn't get to order dessert because everything else took too long. I would definitely go back but not on Valentine's Day.

We were happy to once again visit this restaurant - hearing very positive experiences over the last few weeks. We entered the restaurant looking forward to a wonderful evening - the person who pointed us to our seats and threw the menus on the table was not familiar with the word - hospitality or maybe even a polite greeting! The weather outside was cold but the waitstaff was even colder and remote. Once seated we waited for our server - we were one of three tables at the time - it took 15 minutes for someone to approach our table and ask if we wanted drinks. The wait continued and finally drinks arrived. The appetizers were good the main courses were not. The fish was flavorless it was supposed to be grilled there were no grill lines feasible, the macaroni dishes were barely acceptable. This was definitely a dinner to be remembered but not duplicated! I only wish we could have had a different experience.
