    I've been driving by for so many years thinking we have to try this place. After 35+ years we went last night. We had a lovely evening. Portions were abundant and we will gladly have dinner again tonight. Warm homemade rolls and focaccia. Besides dinner being delicious, the STAFF were warm and inviting. Our waitress was so sweet. Without asking she checked the chef if there was cream in the red pepper soup. Sadly it did, so I ordered the Caesar salad which was included with the dinner. I think we found a new Italian restaurant close to home. My husband was so pleased that his water glass was always full. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    I had never been to this restaurant before. We should never have gone on Mother’s Day. It came highly recommended by 4 Italian friends. After ordering, we received our appetizer quickly. However, we saw tables that came in after us receive their salads and entrees long before we did. We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for our salads. Then another 30 minutes for our entrees. Our server kept apologizing that the kitchen was backed up. That didn’t explain why other tables had been served before us. We were charged for 2 drinks we were served but did not order. Two entrees had to be sent back because they were cold. We were given 2 slices of cheese cake ask a panna cotta as recompense. This was the worst Mother’s Day dinner we’ve had. I felt terrible that I had chosen this restaurant. I had such high expectations. The food is actually quite good, but the experience was horrible.

    First time here .Allan was great server. My paste good . My wife ordered chicken vesuvio which was made with chicken filet not with chicken on the bone as has been served in all the good Italian restaurants that we have eaten so somewhat disappointing. The grilled calamari was also a disappointment. Would we return ? Yes but certainly would change the items ordered.I liked the neighborhood feel and vibe

    Easter brunch was a joke, cafeteria type food, all of it cold , no servers to take used dishes -had to move them ourselves . Mimosas from a plastic container, maybe worth 35 bucks at most but 55? Are you kidding me!? Tried it because normal lunch menu was good, this not their thing. Not going back, steal my money once end of story…
