    Had a wonderful meal before a baseball game. Our server Kim was friendly, prompt, and helpful. We had the chicken parmigiana special and Kim had it split for us table side so we wouldn’t mess up our clothes. I thought that was so thoughtful. The meal was delicious, our drinks were made properly, and the dessert was fantastic. Highly recommend!

    Always excellent, we reunited with friends we hadn’t seen in years at one our favorite restaurants. Service was impeccable as it usually is. Veal scallopini was spot on. We hadn’t been there in years as we moved to Napa 4 years ago. So solid. A pleasure.

    Our server must have been new. Our table was not cleared before our main course was served. An extra plate and small fork were not provided for the clams and mussels. We have had stellar meals and service in the past.

    It’s a nice location , but service was lacking in terms of duration returning to see if we needed a drink / order. Lot going on in the area so parking was also a challenge For the price the food did not meet expectations

    We dine here 1 to 3 times + .monthly & this was less than the usual stellar experience. Especially since it was our 36th Anniversary. No finger pointing, but sure you're smart enough to see where this going/about!

    Service is really good at this location but food is just ok. A couple if things came out burnt. If you sit inside, it can get extremely loud. I love their enclosed outdoor patio. That’s where we always sit.
