Lovely evening dining on the back patio. Very nice ambiance. The service is excellent. I’ve eaten there several times and the food is very good. Nice portion sizes. The rice balls were delicious along with the pasta and eggplant dish. We also had the veal chop special that was amazing. Only critics are the food temps were inconsistent and the cost is on the pricey side. Overall a very good dining experience.
