We were so excited about this spontaneous dining experience at a new spot for us, and unfortunately found ourselves disappointed. The lasagna was excellent, however the alfredo sauce tasted only of butter and was very soupy. My wife had to put marinara in the fettuccine alfredo to eat it. Our server forgot my salad and when I mentioned it, to make sure it was taken off the bill, she just smiled and said ok. There was no apology or an offer to still bring it for me. She was very disconnected and seemed preoccupied. Also, we witnessed our server picking up a lemon slice with her bare hand and putting it into another guest drink. The bathrooms were not clean, and overall the restaurant did not have a clean feel to it. Unfortunately, this was not the experience we had anticipated but we capped off the night with excellent cheesecake elsewhere ?

We came in from out of town and stopped here, the service was wonderful and we loved supporting something family owned too. The food was so yummy and it’s hard to find some place that is authentic, delicious, and also isn’t hard on the wallet. Our waitress had her hands full this night but kept her head up high and just did a phenomenal job.

Great Italian spot. Mostly street parking. Friendly hostess and wait staff. Wine $8-10 glass. Cocktails $10-15. The Bruschetta is a great appetizer.

If you aren't willing to tip 25% plus, do not go here. Was followed out of the restaurant by the front of house person demanding why I did not leave a larger tip. Food is decent but it takes a really long time to come out.

The food and service was great as usual. Evelyn was our waitress and was in her second week. She was so attentive to our every need. I would suggest cloning her to keep the brand top notch. Thanks for making our dinner and evening so special.
The waitress was very friendly and attentive without “hovering” and knowledgeable. The food was great and well-priced. This was our first time back since our original visit just before the pandemic. Now we have “rediscovered” them we will be back regularly. Thanks for a great experience.

Came in on a Saturday night and they were busy, but we had a reservation for 7:15. We ordered drinks and they took about 20 minutes to come out. We ordered an appetizer and our food, and our appetizer didn't come out until 8:20 and our main dishes came out at 8:50. My meal was watery and bland. Although the service was friendly, it doesn't make up for the long wait times. I was excited to try this restaurant for the first time, but we probably won't be back.
Great bruschetta app and Caeser salad. My lasagna meal was rich and decadent. Ravioli with marinara was very good too. Seated immediately and had great service from start to finish.
Had 6 PM reservation. They were out of fettuccini. Calamari was gummy and inedible that they took it off of our bill before we had ordered dinner. The best food was the fresh bread, truly. We were a four top. The other couple are regulars and each ordered lasagna- but when they asked for grated Parmesan, they were told it was a $1.00 charge- but the packets of Parmesan were less. I felt terrible for the server having to deliver that news. The price of the food warrants some quality. The ravioli on top of my filet was frozen and store bought. I asked for an espresso to top off the $35 entree but they only had coffee. The atmosphere does not match the situation- overpriced, understaffed and I sympathize with the front-of-house. They can’t possibly deliver the experience they would wish.

We love the cozy atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the shrimp, scampi and chicken piccata. Absolutely outstanding! Sunshine, our server, was incredible as well..

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Our waiter recommended the pink sauce with our pasta and it did not disappoint. We will be back!

I can't give this place the lowest rating, because it's the worse .. EVER! The worse experience in my life.. EVER! Valentines Night. We waited over an hour and 10 minutes for our dinner. I had to ask twice about our dinner. Finally, my dish came out. Shrimp Scampi.. I've ordered this dish so many times at so many restaurants. My dish came out and I was told don't touch it, it's 400 degrees. The dish looked so burnt, even the lemon on top was burnt. The rotini pasta was so burnt that it would crumble in my hand when picked it up. Almost ever piece of pasta was so hard it was unreal. Hardly any sauce also. We told the waiter, he came back with the mgr and they never once said sorry, they both had an attitude and said pick something else off the menu. Really. I've already waited an hour how long will it take, not sure just order something. I said nevermind, it's not worth it. They walked off.. I didn't get anything to eat and they were fine with that. Not one time did they explain or feel bad. I've never in my life had such a bad experience and nothing was done or felt bad for how horrible the dish was served to e. I can't even explain just how bad the dish was. Nothing can explain just how bad it was!
