    We come here every year for my wife’s birthday and the food and service are always great. However, it’s disappointing that there is never a dessert to pick. Almond cookies are always offered, but they are horrible. This year they were tiny and hard as a rock. If the dessert is the same next year, we will pass on it, despite it being free.

    Love sitting in the lower level but it’s been very noisy the last two visits, and server spoke softly so it was a little challenging. Food was great as always. I had meatballs and they were delicious and three were very filling. My friend had the veal cutlets and wedge salad and said both were great.

    The sourdough, homemade ricotta and Limone pasta were delicious. Will be returning to dine again. The downstairs bar made the evening. Romantic lighting, quick service and a very informative bartender. Drinks were perfection

    The downstairs dining area has a very cool ambiance. The service and food were excellent. Prices were very fair and overall great value for a downtown restaurant.
