    We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. We were celebrating a special occasion, and the owner was very attentive to us and gave us a complimentary dessert to help with our celebration. My only complaint is that I just did not like the red sauce. But I come from an Italian background and I’m very picky, other than that it was great.

    We arrived about 15 minutes prior to our reservation and found that our table was available. Our table was located near the doorway for Table #77 (the balcony table) and provided us with a good view. Our server, Fernando, was very attentive. The arancini (rice balls) were delicious as an appetizer. Likewise, our meals were also wonderful (Lasagne Bolagnese and Liguine alla Vognole). We enjoyed our experience and the hospitality of the staff.
