    I ordered the gluten free pasta with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. It was very good. I would have preferred one of the eggplant dishes, but they aren't made as gluten free. They have very little that is gluten free to my disappointment. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal though, but noone ecept me had to order gluten free. Hopefully, they will reconsider and have more available dishes for those who are gluten free.

    Has always been one of my Italian restaurants in the area. Food is very good, great service and a place where you always get the feeling they appreciate your business. The staff is well trained and one of the owners always seems to be there working as hard along side the staff. Classic example as to how a restaurants be run.

    We are long time customers but have not visited the restaurant in a while. The outdoor improvements look great. The menu is extensive and we liked the many choices and specials. The atmosphere in and out is very nice. The food and service was very good. The very friendly hostess, the bus team and the servers did a nice job. I would recommend this restaurant.

    The atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice. The staff attentive and very nice. The food was simply average. It was perfectly fine, but for the moderate prices I would have expected more. We began very delicious bread and roasted garlic for dipping, along with an appetizer of the mini meatballs with sauce...they were delicious!! Two of the us at the table got the Pollo Prosecco, it was served with vegetables and four tiny potatoes. The two nice sized pieces of chicken were overwhelmed with the sauce and cheese. Two others ordered the chicken picatta. They special ordered it with linguine rather than the potatoes and vegetables. The chicken was just overdone, and there was no hint of the lemon sauce.

    The food was very good. My wife and I each had a different preparation of veal and they were both very enjoyable. Our server, Luis, was very attentive and professional. My only issue was that the noise level is very high. Conversation would be difficult with a group.
