My wife Elizabeth and I have been going to both the old location and the "new" for over 30 years, and cannot say enough about the level of service we always experience, along with consistently high quality and delicious food! 5 Google Stars to the Smith Family and their family of employees!

The service was wonderful. The staff were attentive and helpful. I had the mozzarella antipasti, it was lacking flavor and needed more oil. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara. It lacked the cheese but it was creamy. The pasta was al dente. The cocktail, Manhattan was a sipper! The creme brule was ok.

This is a rather small local restaurant. Attire would be business casual to upscale casual. Reservations are suggested. They have very creative menus and tasting options. Service and food quality is always excellent.Parking: There is an adjacent free parking lot but it's quite small. You'll typically be parking on the street and within one block.

The food was excellent.The server was friendly and welcoming...The place was a bit cramped, and the tables were small. It's not really noisy.It's worth returning.

Arrived at 820pm and they refused to seat us or do takeout. If you don't service an hour before close, then change your close time an hour back.

This is my boyfriend and I’s favorite restaurant. We love what they did, decor wise, with the space they have. We also have been here multiple times over the past year and a half and we’ve received the same incredible service and delicious food every single time. Every person who works here is so kind. My favorite things to order are the caesar salad and the mushroom fettuccine. I always get different desserts and appetizers and each one I try I love. This restaurant is the best, you definitely can’t skip this one!

The restaurant is lovely and the service was great but the halibut was such a disappointment. It was tough and dry, completely overcooked, I left most of it on the plate. Also, very strange but there was nothing else on the plate, just two hunks of overcooked fish. Not sure if this was a bad night or if this is their regular treatment of fish.

My friend took me here and he is first generation Italian-American. If he loves it, it must be good, eh? I am in total agreement. Excellent food in a cool atmosphere. I will come back when I am in town on business again.

We stopped in late on a Monday evening for a glass of wine and dessert. We sat at the bar and enjoyed our delicious dessert and wine while getting to hang out with the hard working crew behind the counter. I love making connections with people and this evening was one I will not forget.

The food was very tasty. We loved the tiramisu dessert as well. However prices are high for the very small portions. Also, some menu items are incorrectly listed as vegetarian. The menu lists salad with Caesar anchovy dressing and a pasta with parmesan cheese as vegetarian. Neither item is vegetarian.

Amazing authentic Italian food! Went here on a Thursday evening and had no issue getting a nice table outside. Our waitress Bridgette was amazing, very knowledgeable about the menu and items. She ensured my pesto was made just how I like it! Would eat here again, and again! The Cesar salad was phenomenal.
