    We had relatively modest meals there (split a salad which the waitstaff graciously did for us; pasta dishes for our main courses. Our only complaint was that the bread/olive oil were bland. Maybe this is just the way true Italians do it but we could have stood to spice it up just a bit.

    The restaurant was quiet (the university students haven't returned) the presentation was appealing and the food tasted good. A nice place. We sat in very comfortable chairs. Had a nice meal and were helped by an attentive waiter to get out the door on time for our film.

    I was hearing a lot of good things about this restaurant but I’m very picky when it comes to my favorites. This blew my ratings out of the water. The candied carrots with the whipped feta is probably the best dish I’ve ever eaten. We all planned on sharing our meals but became too involved with our food before we even had a chance to share with one another ! Along with a great meal, our server was absolutely incredible. He was so attentive and was such a great help when it came to deciding what foods to get ! We can’t wait to get back here
