We were in town for the night and decided to go to this restaurant. The last time we were there was 29 years ago. It had been recommended to us then and we remembered having a delicious meal. It is just as good if not better now. I had the pork chop and it was delicious. The service was excellent. The atmosphere is really nice. Highly recommend for an authentic Italian meal and wonderful dining experience.

This is clearly one of the best restaurants in the Capital District. The food was excellent and the service was professional and friendly. The Porterhouse for two was done perfectly and was tender and delicious. The octopus and the crème brûlée were also superb. The entire experience was a treat.
