    Perfect sport for our family of 5. Upscale but not too fancy. The gnocchi was AMAZING! Kiddos wanted spaghetti with meat sauce which is not on menu but they offered to make it anyway. 10/10. Would go back!

    Good service, sat right away. The food was eh. I personally had the veal parm...I've had MUCH better. We were a party of 10, the first table sat for lunch and you could tell they were not ready despite having a reservation.

    Booked this restaurant based on their menu and reviews from others on Google. It did not disappoint. We were all pleasantly surprised at how delicious and plentiful the plates were. We ordered a variety of dishes: for appetizers-pasta faggoli (with carrots & asparagus), bruschetta, mozzarella sticks/marinara; main courses were Chicken Alfredo 🤤 margarita pizza, eggplant parmigiana 🤤 (best I’ve ever had) & pappardelle Bolognese! Everything was delicious and presented well. The staff was attentive, constantly refilling our drinks and clearing plates. Never a rush to leave. We had a 6:15 reservation but arrived at 5:45. They seated us immediately. Very glad we dined here. Wonderful experience and beyond satisfied all of our palates (ages 9, 37, 41 & 61)
