    Nice table in small room. Noise level was loud. Warm bread was a treat! Food was average with chicken marsala being very mediocre. Waitress was nice but not very quick to get us water. Not the best experience for a first time visit.

    I had the pork osso bucco which was tender and delicious. My wife had the chicken pasts dish which also was excellent. The limencello at the end was a nice way to finish a meal.

    A great experience in many ways. The service was perfect, attentive without being pretentious. The appetizers and entrees were both delicious and beautifully presented. The menu is not large, but varied enough to meet most tastes and diets.
