This place was great. Went with a couple people and we shared our plates and everything was fantastic. We are going to have to go again just to try and get through the menu.

We have been here multiple times and I don’t know why I’ve never taken the time to review it! This is a little gem — our fave in the hood. I’m never disappointed in the food or the service, and the atmosphere might surprise you if you choose to judge a book by its cover (and location, in a little shopping area, next to a taco shop and an Irish pub).

The ravioli — house made — is one of my go-tos and never disappoints. Soup of the day today was potato leek, quite delectable. The blackberry bramble is extra delicious too! Crème brûlée, yes! I don’t know that I have ever had anything here that I don’t like. Tonight was extra special because we were celebrating my cousin‘s birthday and they had a little card signed by everyone and a little gift of their sauce in a cute little jar. Our server, Heather, was incredibly friendly and not overbearing at all. It was a most excellent evening, just like usual! We were having such a good time, I forgot to take pictures of most of our things…
Note that our price per person included appetizers, cocktails or wine, salads, and entrées!

Food and service were outstanding. Our server went above and beyond. We intend to ask to be seated at one of her tables in the future.

Very good service, prompt and friendly. Food was delicious and fair sized portions. Nice environment. Prices were as expected, though $12 for a small side salad felt steep. Overall a good experience.

Great place for our family dinner of 6. Appetizers came out quickly. It was a Monday so it's Martini night, the Chocolate Martini was a hit. Dinner Specials were great, presentation and taste spot on. I love the Tiramisu but the other desserts were just as good. Definitely worth a visit.

Ed

Always great to come here, the atmosphere, the service and the food are all fantastic. Definitely would recommend coming here.

The ambience, the staff (Juan our waiter) and the food were all amazing! We were celebrating my daughter's birthday and we started with garlic & cheese bread, fried calamari and stuffed mushrooms. The waiter, Juan was very professional and his quality of service was impeccable. I had the Bella Luna shrimp w/ pasta and everything was cooked to perfection! Service was fairly fast and definitely worth the wait. Location is very convenient and easy to find. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The prices were very reasonable and we're going back again! A great family owned business!

We've been here twice, and both times were terrible overall. I really wanted to like this place. The staff are genuinely nice people, but they don't seem well trained, and the owner (I think she's the owner) felt a bit lost in the chaos. The place barely functions, and it doesn't seem like it's because of the team trying on the floor. We came in around 6 and they seemed a little disorganized from the start, although the guy we interacted with was super nice. The garlic bread was good, and the appetizer platter was fine. The pasta dishes were hit-or-miss. The Fra Diavola was good. The chicken piccata was barely passable, and the chicken parmigiana was decent. Dessert was also mixed. The tiramisu tasted previously frozen and store-bought. The chocolate mousse was good, and honestly the bread pudding might've been the best thing we had. Service was the biggest issue. He was friendly when he did come by, but he rarely came around at all. It honestly felt like he might've been the chef too, because everything on the service side was so inconsistent.
