The food and the service are impeccable! We would definitely recommend to those that are looking for great wine, delicious food, and over the top desserts. We had a delightful dining experience that we truly enjoyed. We have visited for a second time and found that we were equally as pleased as our initial visit!

Terrible service. Actually no service. Our orders were not taken in favor of older couples that came in after us. After waiting for far longer than is reasonable we left.The bread was good for what its worth..

Only 1 server therefore Service was slow. Gave us the wrong wine. Expresso machine wasn't working. Food was excellent Haven't been here in a couple of years. Now I remember why.

What a disappointment! Went there for a birthday dinner. We had eaten there once several years ago and had enjoyed it, so thought it might be a nice change from our usual choices. We won't be making that mistake again. There were only two other groups in the restaurant when we arrived around 6 pm. We selected a wine from the wine list...oops we don't have that one...Had calamari for an appetizer, breading was bland, and smelled fishy when it was delivered, but was cooked well otherwise. Ordered Salad with Caesar dressing...oops we're out of Caesar...tried to order Pepper Steak...just sold out...ordered filet medallions with prawns medium rare for $38. After well over an hour wait entrees arrived. Filet medallions were tender, but quite over cooked...well without a trace of pink, topped wit a couple of medium shrimp. The crushed red pepper sauce tasted burnt. The best part of the meal was the basket of hot bread. Needless to say, we won't be going back.

This is a little Gem nestled in a strip mall, don't let that dissuade you from going. If you want a wonderful dinner with great service you should go. They have a great selection of wine and live guitar music playing softly in the background. You can actually have a conversation with the person you are dining with, without straining to hear them! The menu has something for everyone. I recommend the Georgio salad, and you definitely want to save a little room for the Bananas

Craving more seafood and Italian so here I am! Friendly staff and delicious food! Frutti de mare in a white sauce and angel hair pasta. Very very good!

Bad service, poor food. Only four tables seated and it took forever! Very disappointing.

Food was good, but took an hour and a half to get. Thinking they forgot to pay the heating bill. Was a bit cool throughout dinner. My wife had to use her coat to keep her legs warm.

I LOVE this place. It is a treat to come here. The alla arrabiatta is the best. The wait is long once you've ordered but it's because they're making everything from scratch. Sometimes service is hit or miss. Last night we sat there for 20 minutes before our waitress even got our drink order. But the food is sooooo worth it.

My boyfriend and I decided to try a restaurant we haven't tried before. I've heard great things about this restaurant. It did not disappoint. We ordered pretty standard entrees lasagne and fettuccine Alfredo with dinner salads. (We ordered blue cheese dressing and garlic dill dressing on the other salad ). Very enjoyable salad!!! Romaine lettuce was cut bite size, fresh and crunchy. Service was great! We were greeted at the door, after a minute wait. They gave us options of seating. Both near the fireplace. The restaurant was not packed but it was full. Noise was manageable and we could have conversation Without any interruptions. I do have to mention people's phones were beeping like with texts. ( that was kind of annoying) but not the responsibility of the restaurant. I would highly recommend for some authentic Italian food.

Dinner party reservation for eight people. Arrived early and asked for a glass of wine. No luck. Entire group arrives. Zero acknowledgment from server. We made many requests to the hostess and manager for wine. 45 minutes pass and server finally greets us. Says she will be right back. Another 15 minutes pass. Finally takes our wine order. 15 minutes later there is wine. So all in all 1 hr and 15 minutes just for wine. Ignored by manager. Hostess did keep bringing bread. Server said she was the only one scheduled on a packed Friday night. Will not be back.

One of my hands-down favorite restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff. You must try the macadamia-crusted halibut. I also love their simple side salad with the dill dressing. To-go orders are great too! Nice romantic place to eat. Prepare to wait a little; good takes time!

Great atmosphere with classical guitar music played in house by Shawn. Exquisite choice of food that has phenomenal taste. Desserts are delightful. They cater too
