Our first visit after many recommendations. Four tilapia, one chicken Parmesan were all delicious and the vegetables were crunchy, colorful and excellent. Cozy atmosphere. Thumbs up.

We ate here for Valentine's Day. I ordered the Chicken Marsala, my sister & niece got the lobster ravioli, and the hubs ordered the lasagna. We all LOVED our meals, with the exception of the hubs. The lasagna was not layered, it was more deconstructed. Bread and service were outstanding! The place was clean and quaint! A nice little authentic Italian gem!!

Cannoli only has filling on the very ends, nothing in the middle, very tiny and over priced.

Our waitress was assigned to the other side of the restaurant , so we had no service. I order lamb chops medium rare and it was mostly well done. The Greek salad was excellent as was the garlic bread. But when we were ready to check out we had to flag someone down because we had no waitress. I left 15% Tip because waitresses go unappreciated. We would have appreciated one if we had one.
