It was a quiet Sunday night, and we were given a great table on porch, so it was like eating outdoors and indoors; I think those are the best tables in the restaurant. They start you off with delicious complimentary bread, which so many restaurants have discontinued. The beet salad is great and perfect for splitting. All the main dishes were very good to excellent. The gnocchi are always great. The salmon was very good and the pasta with pesto and shrimp was excellent. They have great Tiramisu. We had a reasonably priced Montepulciano that was very good and went nicely with all the mains. Service was very friendly and attentive. It couldn't have been much better.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this outstanding Italian restaurant, and everything from start to finish was exceptional. The food, service, and ambiance all hit the mark perfectly. The standout of the evening was the Rigatoni Special — absolutely amazing! Rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, it was a true highlight. Every bite brought the taste of Italy right to the table. You can tell the chefs put real passion into every dish. The staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, making us feel welcome without being intrusive. The setting was cozy yet elegant — ideal for a romantic night out or a relaxing dinner with friends. If you’re craving authentic Italian cuisine that delivers on every level, look no further. Highly recommend!
