    Second time here. Brought friends. We had a great evening. Food was very good. I tried the veal Marsala A home run. Pasta a little dry but enjoyed none the less. Will be back.

    Very nice menu with many good options. Has us wanting to return to try different items. Good wine options as well, and reasonably priced. Service was very attentive. Food was well presented, served hot, plentiful and tasty.

    The best Italian in the valley. I could eat here every week for months and not need to order the same dish. The menu is fantastic.
