We weren’t impressed with the food given how high the prices were. They charge extra for soup and salad which are normally included at other places. We left feeling disappointed in the quality of our meals… not all the hype we thought it was given other reviews.

Too expensive for the quality of the food. It was just ok and for 50.00 pp with out alcohol and one appetizer which was the bet part of the meal it just wasn't worth it.Will not be going back

I was happy to go here, but once was enough. A small little restaurant in Lockport it is unbelievably expensive. $14 for a martini made with Tito‘s vodka? That’s not right. $100 for 2 for dinner which did not include soup or salad.. $7 for a dinner salad is high. Need some nice Italian crusty bread with olive oil and Parmesan cheese at the table. Your garlic rolls have great flavor but are heavy and doughy.We waited quite long for our drinks and too long for the entree.

Unfortunately we had a really mediocre experience here. We arrived for an early dinner and were seated at the bar. It wasn’t too busy at the time we arrived, but we still waited 20 minutes for our drink and food order to be taken.By the time our food came out, we had been seated for over an hour, and my wife’s salad had gorgonzola cheese on it instead of feta as listed on the menu. While maybe not a big deal to some, my wife hates blue cheese. Unfortunately at this point we were running behind - plus we weren’t ever checked on again, so we didn’t have the chance to address it - so my wife left hungry.The plus side of the experience was that my eggplant rollatini and French martini were both very good.

Right from the start, everything was amazing. Rolls with garlic, nice salads, Veal Piccatta over Angel Hair Pasta ? and desserts were Top Notch - can't wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: I have a nut allergy and our serving was very accommodating, going to kitchen to make sure it was nut free.

Food: the food was delicious. I did have to mark it down for some of the ravioli being undercooked. The pasta to sauce ratio on the shells was a bit unbalanced. This is all nitpicking due to the high quality of food you will eat here.Price : the price is definitely on the higher end but the quality of food does reflect that. The portions are fair, you will definitely not be taking left overs.Service: great service all around. The staff recommended a great wine pairing for my dinner. They were very attentive even though it was a busy night. The food could have been a little quicker to come out a little over an hours wait but well worth it at the end .Atmosphere: love the place . The decor felt old Italian family owned . Perfect location to take the family out to eat , hang out with friends for a fancy meal, or take the girlfriend/wife for a romantic dinner . Do make a reservation ahead of time.

Classic Italian fair in a quaint location in downtown Lockport. Enjoyed a nice bottle of wine with dinner. Garlic lovers will enjoy the rolls before dinner as they are smothered in it. Portions large, so plan to take leftovers home.
