This Italian restaurant was a delight. The seafood pasta, shrimp scampi, and lemon fettuccine were amazing. We arrived early and it was nice and quiet but after about 30 minutes it became quite lively. Not a problem, actually we enjoyed this. The service was on point. The three of us all said it was a 10 out of 10.
