    Cozy place, nice ambiance. A little warm inside and a bit dark. Hard to see the menu. Piano music lovely. Food & Drinks were very good. Services were nice and knowledgeable. Definitely would go back for the wonderful selection of entrees. Just wish salad or soup was included. Short rib ravioli special was delicious. Had sun dried tomatoes, peas in a truffle cream sauce.

    Excellent food and service. We ordered a bottle of Malbec but were given a Cabernet. Hostess explained they had to substitute due to it being out of stock ( no issue) Dining room acoustics were a bit loud, but overall a great experience. We’ll be back.

    We have eaten in this restaurant several times and always enjoy the food and service. This time my husband got veal and I got shrimp. Both dishes were very good. We also enjoy the piano music as that is such a rarity now. Parking can be a problem so leave yourself enough time in case you have a short walk to the restaurant.

    Wonderful, friendly staff. Food was excellent. And to make the evening even better enjoyed piano music by a very entertaining musician.
