    Service is always attentive here, and the food was just as delicious as always! Our favorite is the Salmon alla Vodka. Simply the best.

    Small venue that enables voices to carry, but the food and service is so outstanding it becomes part of the ambience of this local’s restaurant. There is outdoor seating although we’ve never tried it. A must in Hillcrest

    Service was excellent and the food was amazing with large portions! We enjoyed the calamari with zucchini, artichoke hearts, lobster ravioli, pork ossobuco, lasagna and the crème brûlée. All were fantastic!

    We live in the neighborhood and go here often. It's fantastic!!!! The servers are always so nice and easygoing. And the food is excellent. We always get the tricolor salad and various pastas. Everything is served hot and very fresh. My husband will only get the osso buco because he loves it so much. All in all, the servers make it a fun experience and we always leave very happy!
