Was excited to see this place re-open but experience was disappointing. Not that they promise home-made, but pasta was from a box and painfully overcooked (sticks to your teeth as you chew), cocktails are okay, appetizers brought out inexplicably (and unapologetically) with mains. My wife did enjoy her mashed potatoes but the saltimboca had no sage. Wait staff was attentive (why I have 3 stars) but does not make up for the uninspired food. And of course, a "can of tuna" meal ends up costing like caviar.

The lasagna and carbonara were both very very good. Service was excellent and atmosphere was on point. I wish they had bread service but the portions were so big that I was almost glad they didn’t by the end of the meal.

It was our first time at this location and it was excellent. Food exceeded my expectations, the service was good and it was a nice small quiet atmosphere. We enjoyed it very much and definitely recommend.

Excellent customer service and great tasting food. We come here on a regular basis and have tried many different things and they have all been great. My favorite is the eggplant parmesan- so crispy and flavorful. Many other great vegetarian options as well. My partner loves their carbonara and says it is the best. They also always have specials for food, drink, and dessert that have all been amazing. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options

We have driven by many times, finally decided to try and glad we did. Cute little neighborhood restaurant. The menu is a perfect size, something for everyone. The calamari was lightly breaded and fried, not greasy. The spicy marinara was perfect. We had the mixed seafood and the Rosemarino pasta dishes .portions are a nice size, lots of seafood, and fresh pasta. Delicious. Tiramisu topped off a nice dinner. There are lot of hard surfaces so it can be loud. Looking forward to another visit, maybe on their outdoor patio when it’s warmer.
The hostess was phenomenal on that night. She really took care of my partner and I. She was very attentive and valued every customer. The ambiance is good, food was delicious, and I truly enjoy the happy hour drinks. Definitely will be back here again

The food and service were fantastic, and I was so delighted to have good gluten-free pasta. (I had the mushroom starter and the sausage and leek pasta, and both were so yummy.)Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free options. There are also vegetarian options.

What a wonderful place, superb food (coming from someone that isn't a big fan of Italian restaurants in general) served with class and in proper proportions. What a great experience this was.

This was by far the worst dining experience I have had in a long long time. The food was bland, two burnt pieces of skinny eggplant with white cheese that was barely melted. The garlic bread ad a blob of spice on the center and it was a baguette that was also sliced very thin. The wine was stale and the caesar salad was warm. NEVER again. There was not a single thing good to say. I asked our waitress for some lemons so I could get some flavor from the salad, and it never came. When I got up to find her, she was on her phone - ignoring everyone.
