    They used to provide better quality food years ago. Have not been there in years. Nice atmosphere, good service. Not noisy which is wonderful compared to other restaurants these days. The pasta with tomato sauce side was only so so; so was the veal piccata dish, and the chicken marsala we tried. The salad that comes with the meal was delicious. No gluten free desserts except a pecan ball, so did not try. For their high prices I expect better quality so we will not return.

    The food is delicious from appetizers to desserts. The service is also excellent. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and able to make suggestions. Service was attentive without being too much. The prices are higher than some, but lower than some finer dining establishments. I like the location of being in a local neighborhood. On Stre parking worked okay. My only dismay with this restaurant is lack of handicap accessibility. There is no accessible entrance. You must be able to climb approximately six steps to enter.
