Excellent menu with straightforward options that go beyond typical Italian fare. The portion sizes are reasonable — not excessively large! Excelent menu, simple choices not your regular italian, much better than "regular" portion sizes decent, not ginormous! !

Great food and people! Enjoyed the lamb meatballs, and the spaghetti with the lemon was just divine. What a great evening.

We had a wonderful experience! We came to celebrate our daughter's high school graduation. This was our first visit and we'll certainly be back. Our server, Ashley, was phenomenal! Attentive without being overbearing, friendly without being familiar, pleasant, and very knowledgeable. Compliments to the entire team. Thank you!

The service was fine, the food OK, but the noise level was excruciating. I left hoarse because I had to yell to even talk to the person sitting next to me. Not the place to go for a relaxing dinner or if you expect to carry on a conversation with those with you!

Just like finding a four leaf clover, our stars lined up on my wife's birthday. We got our favorite table and our favorite server, Ashley. Her engaging personality and stylish way of dressing set the tone. She was professional, caring and attentive. Our burrata was delightful, the aruglua salad fresh and delicious and our entree was superb (we particularly liked the al dente pasta. Bravo! Our dinner was topped off with your homemade fresh strawberry ice cream and crushed almond biscotti which evoked memories long forgotten of strawberry ice cream sandwiches! My only minor complaint is that I am not offered SIX OR MORE stars to award you! We look forward to returning again soon!

Service was stellar. Place was not busy, but they still would not give us a window table. Had to sit in the middle of the room on a two top. Margherita pizza was a little disappointing since it had tomato sauce, not thin slices of tomato like a true Margherita should have. Cheese was skimpy and top of crust was burned. Server was excellent and offered nice wine selections. Food was served promptly.

Food was great. Pizza was outstanding. Just think if they offered a regular house or Caesar salad then it will take to another level. But overall we loved it.
