It's an amazing time here....... the laid-back ambiance and the summer night dining al fresco . Gio is the consummate host and served as our waiter. My go-to here is the oyster Rockefeller........with the extra sauce is perfect for bread dipping. A great wine selection and some of the best Itailian dishes make me feel like I never left home....... Pro tip......finish the evening with the homemade limoncello poured over the lemon sorbet........a great finish to a great evening!

Held a celebration for our Mothers 96th birthday here and I'll tell you, we couldnt have asked for a better choice. Gio and his staff took such good care of all 15 of us, while giving special attention to the birthday girl. They made us all feel so welcomed. The service was excellent, as was the food. Everyone loved what they ordered and all of the appetizers. The drinks were excellent and the desserts....heavenly. From start to finish, an all around wonderful dinner and...
