The food and service were great! Grandson loved the spaghetti and meatballs. The 2 adults had chicken parmesan and swordfish. Both were delicious.

My dish, sausage and pasta, was excellent and spicy. Large portion. My wife’s dish, mushrooms and pasta, was tasty but salty and small portion

Wonderful Bruschetta, highly recommended. My husband loved the Orecchiette w/ sausage & peppers. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi; slightly overcooked, but good. The bread accompanying my order was exquisite. My highest regards for the baker.

Pasta seemed like it had been left under the heater to keep warm and got dry. One pasta didn’t even use the correct noodle listed on the menu. Our server earned us an about one pasta being spicy but turned out to be a the butternut squash one was so spicy and I couldn’t eat it. The bruschetta was drenched in vinegar, too much! Very disappointing with the amount we spent on this meal and quality of food.

Our server was great, I believe her name was Karen The bruschetta is so awesome! The pasta this visit was dry and stuck together in a big lump. Asked for more sauce and that helped! My dining partners loved the mussels

We're happy to hear that your server, Karen, took great care of you and your dining partners! We're sorry to hear that the pasta didn't meet expectations at first, but glad to know that the extra sauce helped! It's great to hear you enjoyed the bruschetta and the mussels! We appreciate your feedback, and hope to see you in again soon! -Kurstin Coffey, Bar and Event Supervisor
