Extremely dated decor, jarring color combo, not pleasant. Carpet on floor, which is both a strange choice and is also really dirty. Service was very slow, nice enough but not professional. Food was average, good portions but not good quality. Lots of simple mistakes. Got the impression place was probably better in a previous time when it was better managed.

Unfortunately, the evening did not start off well. We were told that we had to wait for our reservation for atleast 10-15 min after our original time, even though we showed up early. Then after waiting, we were told another 15 min. Noticed that they seated other groups that were walk ins so I guess they were given priority. We had two young children who were starving so we decided to leave and just as we did, the manager came running after us and asked us to stay. They turned around a table and even through a pizza in the oven for the kids, no charge. The food was good, not great. Felt a little rushed as it was now kind of late for dinner and they were getting ready to close. Wouldn't mind giving them another try but will likely favor other restaurants over this one.

Delicious food and wine. Love to see how busy this family run restaurant is on a Saturday night. Great in house made pasta. Reasonable wine selection. Looks like they have a very nice private room which I hadn't noticed before.

Went here for the first time on Valentine's Day. They had the tables all packed together in the main dining room and we were practically right on top of the other customers. Despite making a reservation online, our table seemed like an afterthought as it was right by the entranceway where there was heavy foot traffic. Service was poor, we probably saw our waiter four times total and it took a long time for us to get our check. Our table didn't receive bread despite them setting out butter for us and many of the tables next to us had bread. The experience was not worth the price and I will not be going back again, on Valentine's day or otherwise. The food was alright.
Have been here several times and was always attentive service. Was so catastrophically understaffed on Valentine's Day it was almost comedic. Got a drink and dinner ordered quick enough, after that we were on our own. Plates were empty easily 15-20 minutes before an offer for dessert. Staff looked tremendously overwhelmed.

Love the food quality and selection, the staff who are always attentive and so pleasant, and the quiet atmosphere. Have been here several times, have taken friends. Dining experience equal to much higher priced restaurants.

Had a birthday celebration for the wife, with 3 of her friends attending. Food was fantastic. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Very comfortable setting for 5 friends to get together and enjoy the company and great food. Everyone tried something different and all were well pleased.

Overall I was very pleased with my experience in terms of food and service. The ambience was a little loud but tolerable and timing of delivery of courses by the waiter could be improved a little. I ordered the fried calamari appetizer, minestrone soup and lamb chops. The calamari was excellent in taste, lightly battered and lightly seasoned, just how I like it. The minestrone soup was okay, average. The lamb chops were perfectly seasoned and doneness was exactly as I ordered, medium. They were delicious, I never had better anywhere else. The artichoke and brussel sprout accompaniment was just right for the dish. My friends and I truly enjoyed the experience and we all said we would definitely come back again. Two thumbs up!
