"Fabulous restaurant! Enzo and his family always make you feel right at home. Super service, wonderful authentic Italian food...the Burrata cheese just melts in your mouth! It takes you away to another place and is simple yet very warm and inviting."

"We have several people recommend this restaurant, so we went for my wife's birthday. A group of 6 of us went, all adults. To start off, the food was fantastic! Flavorful and creative dishes, absolutely fantastic. The restaurant is somewhat small and they pack in the people. We were the biggest party there, mostly groups of 2 or 4, which it is designed for. It's very loud; however, the place pretty much cleared out by 10 pm. They took very good care of us and my wife, lots of attention from the owner/manager? and his wine steward. Both from Italy with vibrant personalities. I would say the quality of the food is about a $25 entree worth, but the ambiance needs a little polishing. All the staff were great too. Extremely accommodating."

"The Noise level in this place is overly loud, not for people who are easily subsible to headaches. The food was excellent but the portions are a bit skimpy. A few of us had the short ribs which was delicious but the portions too small. Another had the lobster ravoli which I was told was scrumptious but also too small of a portion for the prices they charged. Service was attentive and very good. This was suppose to be a Birthday Celebration although nothing was acknowledged the end of the meal."
