Went on a Friday night & it was packed. Thankful reservations.
Dining room was cozy. Service was welcoming and friendly. They start you with some homemade twisted bread and dipping oil, all very good.
I ordered the veal parmesan - excellent flavors and generous portions. Loved the sauce. My wife has the mussels pasta dinner, generous portions and she loved every bit of it.

If you'd like to try something that you don't normally...

Had lunch there yesterday. I hate to say it but the experience was ‘meh.’ And $105 for one app, a salad and two entrees with no alcohol seems pretty pricey for the product that was delivered.
Food was pretty bland for both of us. Rolls that were brought out were frozen in the middle and then took longer than they should have to be re-served. Bruschetta tasted only like raw red onion. Meatballs could have been plopped out of a frozen bag from GFS.
Really...
