Our dinner was beyond delicious, the waitress both warm and friendly as well as efficient. The owner greeted us at the door and made not only our party but everyone at the restaurant feel welcome. The kitchen did their job getting us out on time for a show as well as providing delicious food. The eggplant rollatini and the calamari appetizers were so tasty. Our entrees of tortellini, lasagna, squid ink spaghetti with shrimp, and pappardelle exceptional. The wine selection excellent....

Lovely atmosphere to enjoy classic, elevated Italian food and top-quality steaks. On this visit before a play at NBPAC, we had a fantastic foie gras appetizer on special as well as pasta dishes that hit the right notes.

Food was incredible, multiple members of staff constantly checked on us and the experience was more than we could have hoped for. The only sore spot was we were there for a surprise anniversary dinner, the staff at desert had brought out a complimentary dessert with the plate dressed up for us and then still ended up charging us for the gratis dessert. It added to the experience but that was the only glaring spot to keep an eye on
