    Everything was wonderful, from bruschetta to rigatoni to lasagna to carrot cake — absolutely delicious! Amber was very attentive and helpful. She was definitely right about dessert! She’s a gem! The portions were great, the prices reasonable.

    Five friends met for dinner on a Tuesday night. We had reservations and were seated immediately. It is a beautiful restaurant. Nice outside dining area, but we elected to eat inside. Olivia was our server. She was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Iced water was brought to our table. Then fresh warm bread came next. Olivia was kind enough to give us time to look over the menu and answered all of our questions. The restaurant is very accommodating to one's needs. One of the gals in our group remembered having the chicken Limone on a past visit but that is no longer on the menu...however, Olivia said the kitchen could make it. Three of us wanted the lasagna, but after taking our order, Olivia returned to say, they were out of lasagna. However, she made so many suggestions and helped us select the next best thing. A few of us had the Rigatoni de Sardi $27, Italian sausage, mushrooms, onions herbs white wine and pomodoro sauce. One gal asked if she could have marinara sauce instead of pomodoro...yes..done. Another gal had the chicken Limone served over spinach $32. And another order the Dana's Bolognese, $27, spaghetti, tomato-meat sauce, basil and pecorino. All portions were very generous. We decided to have dessert. The desserts are BIG. Definitely good to share. We had an order of the Profiteroles filled with pistachio gelato topped with rich chocolate...order included 3 $11...so good...one gal had an order of pistachio gelato and another rhubarb/berry crisp with vanilla gelato $12...served warm...yum. Wonderful experience...everyone is friendly from the hostess to the busboys...just great.. We will return and maybe sit outside.

    Great time with my parents and husband for Father’s Day. We went the day before and hardly anyone there. We sat outside to enjoy the wonderful weather. Everyone there was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!
