The food is excellent and our server was wonderful. I wish I could remember her name because she was awesome and deserves recognition.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the area. For years they have been serving delicious Italian meals. Try their meatballs and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Wonderful service as well.

Came here with a group. I’d heard good things, so I was excited. I ordered the shrimp scampi, which in the picture on the menu came with 6 jumbo shrimp that filled the platter they were pictured on. I got six ridiculously small shrimp. I so wish I would have taken a picture. I’m talking salad/soup shrimp. Not $22 entree shrimp. Not only were they way smaller than advertised but they were so overcooked they were like rubber. I ate 2 (because I was starving), and let my wife and mother in law each try one to see if I was crazy. They agreed it was a pretty pathetic dish. I considered sending it back after the first shrimp and just sharing my wife’s meal (it was enough for both of us), but we were with a group and I didn’t want to be “that guy.” The experience might have been better had I ordered something else, so I guess my advise is avoid the entrees with shrimp!
