    The food wait time is the only thing some people might be turned off by but, the food makes it well worth the wait. The staff is also very attentive and always moving ready to fill glasses. Definitely should go give it a try!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our "3 hour meal" with our waiter, Gregory! Sorry but he's our favorite! Food was outstanding.... there were a couple of things that weren't, and Gregory made sure it was. Most popular dish is the gnocchi and steak! Definitely our most frequented restaurant.

    We dined here on a visit from out of town and will definitely plan a trip back. From the bread to the salads to the drinks to the entrees, we were not disappointed. Our server was engaging and provided incredible service. Thank you for a fun night!

    We booked a Friday night dinner for a graduation celebration - we happened to arrive quite early and were seated within 5 minutes. Our waiter was engaging and funny, and the food quite good (Ricotta Gnocchi, Crab Tortellini and Pasta Vignole (?). The atmosphere was lively and yet we could have a nice conversation without shouting. Parking available on the street and in a lot near the building. Since it was a bit drizzly outside we could not enjoy the patio, but looks very charming for the nights when they have live music. Would definitely go back!
