First visit back since new chef and management. Went there for our anniversary. Staff went over and beyond to make it a special occasion for us. Food and atmosphere was not disappointing. With the remodel they added more seating which was an issue before but kept the charm and nostalgic feeling. Very nice fine dining experience.
Best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at. All the pasta is made fresh. Had the best wait staff as well! I would give 100 stars if there were 100.
Beautiful restaurant. The food was excellent and came out quick and hot. Our waitress was great from start to finish. Highly recommend trying this restaurant when in the area
