They have a great menu. The little neck clams Oreganata is an excellent appetizer and the Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin is a great entree.

Our waiter Willie was not as attentive as we would have liked, and he wasn’t waiting on a lot of tables in the back room. Also, the air conditioning in the back room was lacking. But everything and everyone else was PERFECT! Thank you for another great dining experience. 🤗

Quiet dinner for two this time Sat. Night. Reserved ahead for a quiet table and Michelle had it ready and waiting for us. Our server Barbara was very attentive and service was quick and accommodating. We even had some guests surprise us after dinner so we finished the evening at the cocktail bar for a nightcap. Of course being joined and welcomed by Owner ‘Roberto’👍👍
