"Amazing. Wonderful food and friendly, knowledgeable service!
We had a dinner with our friends and man we were very pleased with our dining experience, from the food to service to the decor to the oasis water fountain right in the dining room very nice touch.
The food is simplify fresh, delicious, big portion, and doesn't break the bank! It isn't like going out for tapas or appetizers where you pay twenty bucks for a tiny plate of food and leave hungry!
I had the housemade rigatoni with short rib ragu, my wife got the housemade ravioli with wild mushrooms, my friend got the veal Toscano and his wife got the salmon risotto. Everything was delicious and fresh we cleaned the plates.
We first ordered the portabello and brie cheese an"

"The empty dining room on a Saturday night was my first clue that something was amiss. Service, while friendly, was on the slow side. But my real complaint is with the food. My partner and I shared a dish of homemade rigatoni. The pasta was heavy and overcooked. My entree of soft shell crab was soggy and the "francese" sauce was terrible, all starch and lemon with absolutely no other tastes. Did the chef taste this dish?

Truly one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time."

"AMBIANCE: Cute, charm place. We loved the food the service and the combo Italian American music all put and transform you back to Rome Italy which we have been there several times in the past 20 some years.
SERVICE: Great. Constant water checks prompt service. They let you sit and relax and do not rush you out the door like many places. We had an 830 reservation for 5 which was immediately honored upon our arrival even though it was quite crowded inside.

FOOD: In order of favorites
-- Absolutly DELICIOUS BREAD W OLIVE OIL AND also butter ...save some to dip in the sauces of the pastas!

--Portabello mushroom and brie cheese full of flavor with truffle oil.
--Calamari Fritti with ginger Dijon sauce out of this world
-Baby octopus"
