    We had two dogs. The staff did everything to accommodate us. The service was great, the food was delicious, and we really loved how they helped us celebrate our son’s 18th birthday. Thank you!

    We went on a Monday evening so we weren’t expecting it to be packed. They seated us upstairs and it was VERY quiet. Other diners were there but it wasn’t a lively atmosphere! The server was fantastic, attentive and friendly. They are exceptionally accommodating to folks with dietary restrictions and our friend received a separate gluten-free menu as well as a small basket of GF rolls to enjoy. The GF calamari was delicious and the appetizer meatballs were fantastic! Pre-dinner cocktails were very well made and we had a phenomenal bottle of wine with the main course…their wine list is almost all Italian and there are great options on it. Tiramisu for dessert and I was stuffed. We have eaten here multiple times and will come back again and again!
