    This is my go to when I'm in town. Owned by a Sicilian family, very similar to my grandmother's style of cooking. Amazing flavors and hospitality. Lorena was such a joy to visit with during our meal.

    I made a reservation and we show up to a closed restaurant, if the restaurant hours are incorrect on open table that needs to be addressed. We were going out for my birthday and had to find another place to eat. I am just disappointed.

    The food is excellent. The bus boy did not want to sit us inside, and said there were no tables available. The owner came over and seated us inside. There were multiple other tables inside throughout our meal. Other than that incident the meal and the service were great.
