    We came here to celebrate our anniversary and got the meatballs,ricotta dumplings,pizza,and chicken Parmesan and everything was out of this world delicious!! I would say my one and only complaint was that the waiter asked if we wanted a dessert and I thought that the one we picked was gonna be on the house because it was our anniversary but they ended up giving us a scoop of ice cream for free and honestly if I would’ve known they were gonna give us the ice cream I would’ve never ordered the dessert cause it was just so much food and the dessert was pricey Other than that everything was delicious and service was perfect!
