    Dishes were ok. Gem salad, carpaccio was good. Tomahawk steak was prepared to order. My only complaint was that a dessert, touted as a vin Santo w biscotti was a cheaper muscat dessert wine...sorry from the waiter doesn't cut it ... That is outright fraudulent from the bar staff. There is much better in the city.

    Our waiter was very attentive. We really liked oysters, shrimp, and the garbage salad to start. My daughter said that she had the best 8 oz filet of her life! My chicken parmesan was VERY good. I wanted a Veal parm, but they don't have veal at this time. Oh well. Mashed potatoes were great too.

    The food was absolutely delicious and the service outstanding! We sat outside and Emilio was fantastic at making wine recommendations and on top of food service. We made this reservation at the last minute and we were so thankful we did!
