Great Italian food at favorable price point in a pleasant atmosphere. I had calamari steak with garlic, caper and lemon sauce. It was killer! My wife had bucatini pasta and it was excellent. The portion was large enough for some to take-home.

The dining room is well decorated. I was greeted with a friendly smile and seated quickly. However, after that it felt like forever until someone waited on me. it was a slow night and not many people so I wasn't sure why this was happening. When my server finally took my order i was now impatient. I ordered the gnocchi with Alfredo sauce. After 45 minutes of waiting I asked to have my dinner to go. When I got home I really enjoyed the gnocchi. you could tell it was made from scratch and it was delicious. Next time I hope my wait time is not so long.
