I was visiting New York and had dinner here with friends. It was fantastic. The bread basket has a variety of breads in it. The appetizer was marvelous. My dinner was fantastic I had the linguine clams. It was too much to eat but it was delicious. I would absolutely come here again! Make reservations!

Just attended a 50th anniversary luncheon for about 20+. Great menu of appetizers, salad, penne, choice of entrees, and cake/pastries. As always, great food and friendly/professional service. Valet parking is a plus.
June 2025
Great service with wonderful food. I found they had a lot of regular Italian dishes with some I have never seen before!
Parking: The parking lot is small, so it could be tough to find parking on site, although plenty of patrons parked in the bank parking lot next door.
