The gluten-free menu is sizable, and the pasta was prepared perfectly! I mentioned my friend's birthday and the need for gluten-free in our reservation, and both were handled well. We received the menus from the start, and every staff member we spoke with said happy birthday!

Traditional Italian food in a homey, traditional Italian restaurant setting. Picked this place for dinner because we were in the mood for Italian, and the food and ambiance were great and what was anticipated. Service was a tad slow for how relatively uncrowded it was, but the server could not have been nicer and willing to try to meet our requests at every turn. We would definitely try it again next time we are passing this way.
