Excellent food. Friendly service.Small selections of Italian food.No lasagna, nor Ravioli, nor rigatoni, nor pizza. Second time we were there to have a quiet, romantic dinner, and the bar area next to the dining area, was very noisy and was a distraction.

Don't walk RUN! Great Food, Service & the food & drinks are incredible! If you have a chance to sit at the bar & have Alejandro "The Best Bartender" make you a martini, you won't be sorry! OMG! Home Made Bread BUT DON"T forget to ask for the Vodka Sauce With it...otherwise you will get the very delicious red sauce which is also delicious BUT OMG! the Vodka Sauce is out of this world + was featured on The Food Network (see youtube for video)! All food is delicious! I have been eating here for over 10 years & I always bring my friends & family when they visit us at the lake. Allow enough time to enjoy the desserts. Why cook at home? When you can have a home cooked delicious meal here! PS Great bar, so if there is a little wait, plenty of delicious cocktails, wine & beer off the menu to choose from!

We always love coming here. The pasta and everything else is house made. Plan for big plates and big flavors.
I've been wanting to try Holi Cannoli for a while now and hubby and I found ourselves kid feee tonight so we went for it and we were not disappointed. We sat at the bar as the wait was going to be quite a while for a table but that was fine by us. The bartenders were great; very attentive and fun; good vibe, seemed like a few regulars which is always good at a restaurants. We ordered bruschetta to start with Pinot noir and Pinot Grigio. The flavors and topping were plenty. Hubby ordered gnocchi with vodka sauce and Blackened chicken; I opted for rigatoni with pesto and grilled chicken. Both dishes were great portion size and flavor. We each tried each others and honestly, I'm not usually a vodka sauce fan but it was amazing. We also had bread with marinara on the side. Very delicious. We ordered tiramisu and cannoli for dessert; I opted for the chocolate covered cannoli shell. Both were very good and finish entirely. We will certainly be back!

We walked in without a reservation at 7:30pm on a Saturday. We waited a while for a hostess. When she arrived, she did not greet us but asked what she could do for us. When we asked for a table for 2, she asked if we had a reservation? We said no… she cut us off very annoyed and stated “9 o’clock” and turned to walk away. Very abrupt and rude.The food looked delicious and I’m sure it was - customer service gets an F, she was extremely rude.

Pretty good. Got the chicken Parm. Bartender suggested vodka sauce because of food network award or something. It was delish. Docked a star because they tried to give me a fresh beer without a fresh frosty glass. Another because no bread with the meal. Really? How am I supposed to mop up that delicious sauce? How can you serve a pasta dish without bread? Not cheap so I kinda expect the extras
This place the best of the best restaurants in the area. I was skeptical with all the food show hype and features but it did nit disappoint! The best mussels Ive ever had. My wife had the chicken Parmesan in vodka sauce which was amazing. I had the whole chicken which melted like butter in my mouth. We had a deconstructed canoli and a cheesecake canoli for dessert. Both were incredible. Worth every penny and we will definitely be back!

Very good food and friendly staff. Came in with two toddlers,not realizing how nice the restaurant was. They were very gracious. Can't stop raving about the gnocchi and Italian sausage!
