    My friend and I met here for early dinner. Reservations are a must because it is a very small restaurant. The ambience is lovely and everyone super friendly! Unfortunately I didn’t even think to take pics but food was wonderful. We got the crab claws for app and they were finger licking scrumptious! I got the chicken piccata which was good. My friend got the lasagna which came in a huge bowl, I tried a little taste and wow, the red gravy was delicious! We enjoyed our dining experience

    Hidden gem. BEST Almandine fish in the city. I know it’s Italian and all those dishes are fabulous as well but I was born and raised here and hands down the fish is stunning. You’ll be taking home to go as well.

    We’ve been coming here for years. Never disappointed! Food delicious, service excellent. It’s always special when the owner Phil comes around to check on you. We missed his wife. Very special couple 👏🥰❤️
