Outstanding service, exquisite cuisine and a warm ambiance. Ignore the few overly sensitive complainers that obviously get “triggered” far too easy. The owner is a gracious man that takes pride in his family business.

I called to book a table for my family and the person answered the phone was asking me where I am from and what’s my back ground then I said excuse me and he said perhaps another time and he wouldn’t book a table for me unless I told him what’s my back ground and what religion I am and he was extremely rude and sounded super racist. Wow I am shocked. We have eaten so many nice high end restaurants but this kind of behaviour is totally unexceptionable.

First off, if you have no personality, are wound tight and are a bit of a social robot and are unable to engage with someone else who has a strong personality themselves, then your 1 star reviews about the owner say more about you than they do about him. He was fun, bombastic, humorous and very confident/proud of his restaurant and his two sons (both chefs there). And that's more than OK in this increasingly boring world. If you go there, just roll with it and go in knowing he will be entertaining for sure if you are not a bore yourself. :)We had an excellent meal from beginning to end and though it's fine dining per se, it's got a bit of a casual/homey feel to the place. Our first time and it definitely won't be our last. The appies were outstanding. A warm pear salad for my wife and beef carpaccio for me. 10 out of 10 on the appies.Our entrees were also excellent with a veal dish for me (name escapes for me, but rolled and stuffed), and Chicken Parm for my wife that was made with thighs rather than breasts - likely a personal preference, but I/she would have preferred the breast route. 8 out of 10 on the entrees.Desserts and wines were also excellent. 8 or 9 out of 10 there.Michael, one of the sons, doubles as a server and is very nice, polite and obviously passionate about the food that comes out of their kitchen. None stop smiles from him and a warm individual for sure.9 out of 10 overall experience.

My husband and I came to a restaurant where the grandfather was drunk, did not let us in and told us not to come again. It was my anniversary. It's a pity that there are such places.

Food is good but I was legitimately convinced the owner was going to physically fight several people in other dining parties.

We had:Appetizer:Grilled octopus - perfect grilled octopus with spices and onions, potatoes and a red wine vinaigrette was very tasty and a do over.Antipasto - artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, grilled pepper, prosciutto, Asiago cheese, pickled peppers and capers with a balsamic glaze. Very typical Italian dishMain Course:Veal Chop - nicely grilled 16oz chop with veal reduction. A delectable dish!Osso Bucco - dinner special; slow cooked lamb in a tomato sauce over soft, creamy risotto. A spectacular dish!Dessert:Lemoncello Tiramisu - lady fingers soaked in Lemoncello with mascarpone cheese. A nice light dessertWalnut cake - a Greek style walnut cake with honey sauceServers were very attentive and polite. They explained the special very clearly and were prompt in responding to our question about the food and historical house.
The food was absolutely incredible!! What a great experience. I crave an opportunity to enjoy some fine dining and that's exactly what we got. Michael was friendly, professional and sociable. Would definitely come back and would recommend this restaurant.

A truly wonderful evening. The food and ingredients were first class with a lot of imagination. Portions are generous and the service impeccable. We cannot believe that it has taken so long for us to try this wonderful gem of a restaurant. We will be back!!
