    Such a cute little spot! The food was wonderful - good portions and price. I think they may have been short-staffed the night we were there - our waiter was doing it all, but still took good care of us. Highly recommended!

    VERY POPULAR Great pizza, pastas, salads, classic Sicilian style entrees. Definitely make an OT reservation for dinner when you go. Also delicious lunch specials. Highly recommend.

    Our visit this time was a bit more chaos because it was very crowded. As a result, the service was not as top notch as it has been in the past. For example we had to wait a very long time for water refills and our bill. However the food was delicious and our server friendly .

    Great before concert meal, but busy, so would suggest a reservation. The service was a little slow, but the staff was friendly and helpful. Food was great, everything tasted fresh and hand made. Standouts, margarita pizza, lobster mac & cheese, gnocchi (pillowy and soft). Menu's a tad pricey for pasta and the area. Will definitely go back.

    We ordered wine & the waiter (who seemed like he was in outer space) after awhile said they ran out of wine glasses?? Our salads came, then our food came out & halfway through the meal the wine finally showed up (one of which was the wrong one), then we mentioned to the waiter and he insisted that the Chardonnay that was supposed to be a white zifandel was correct???? We asked another waiter for the correct wine and he immediately took care of it! The long & short of it was the food was mediocre & if I come back at all it might be to have a shot if vodka & maybe try their pizza. Geeeeeez!
