Reliably great food. Good service and ambience. Live music is good, but depending on where you're seated, it can make conversation a bit more difficult.

Friday night out after a long week and we went to our favorite, local restaurant. James took, as usual, great care of us as we enjoyed the evening. I ordered a new (for me) dinner off the menu and wasn't disappointed while my wife ordered her usual. All good! We'll OF COURSE be back!

Ambiance is fun, unusual and inviting Service was attentive and efficient Mushroom soup was delicious and tasty Pasta dishes were very over cooked Sauces were ok but not very flavorful Overall, if going for a notable Italian meal this was not the place.

Food not as good as in the past. Soup had a strong Marcella wine flavor. Pasta sauce was not seasoned. Chicken was not moist, we were disappointed...

Food was good and great value for the cost. Our server was very attentive. The only negative was the loud live music.

Weâve dined here multiple times over the years, on our way to Gammage. We love the food, ambience and piano set. All was on point last night with one exception. Last night, we were offered the wine list and when I said Iâd probably have a cocktail, our server said there wasnât a cocktail list. I was surprised because Iâd swear there was one from past experience. Our server said âwe have a full bar just no blenderâ. I didnât push back but upon prompting to leave a review, I checked the menu here on Open Table first⦠sure enough, cocktail list - looks good too!

It was a crowded Motherâs Day evening so the service was slow due to the packed house. The food was outstanding, as usual. The chairs are not very comfortable, they really need some sort of padding. That will not stop me from coming here again!!

We were a party of seven, one more than expected in the reservation. The restaurant was accommodating with the change. We each ordered a different entree, and most were OK. From a food perspective, we were expecting better. The restaurant was cute and looked very Italian. It was quite noisy, so somewhat difficult to have a conversation. I'm not sure I see the need for entertainment since it added to an already noisy atmosphere.

Wonderful homemade pasta and sauce. Generous servings. Love the mushroom soup.
