    We love this local Italian spot. The food is so delicious. We started with the carpaccio. Sliced thin and so tender. We also had the calamari appetizer. We love their preparation with the spicy broth. Great for dipping their delicious bread. For our entree we shared the chicken parmigiana with a side of pasta. The wine list is also wonderful. Finished off with some grappa. Perfection. Cheers 🥂

    The service was horrible. Our waiter came by the table only once at the end of our dinner to see how things were. Then my friend ordered coffee, and after 15 minutes, she had to ask the busboy for coffee. "Then" the waiter stumbles by apologizing for forgetting the coffee and makes a hure display of saying "Oh, and by the way, the coffee is on the house." What a great guy! Wow, three dollars saved. Whoope de freakin' do. I definitely won't be going back. And the food was mediocre at best. The pasta and the sauce had no seasoning at all. An incredibly bland experience all the way around.
