Enjoyable first time visit on a December Monday night opening. Brittany was a friendly, capable server who provided helpful advice on entree selection. We enjoyed the entire meal. First was bread plus a complimentary and delicious Caprese salad bites appetizer (fresh tomatoes, mozzarella balls, basil, olive oil, and balsamic glaze). Next, a fresh and large house salad with choice of dressings followed by our chosen entrees: Grilled Pork Porterhouse and Boozy Cranberry Chicken. They were accompanied by a side selection of either spaghetti with pasta or baby potatoes and vegetable of the day. The seasoning of these meals was spot on....and surprisingly for restaurant fare, not too salty either. The portions were on the large size, so we were well satisfied. However, we couldn't resist trying one of the many desserts that this restaurant is known for....it's a tough choice to make! We took our tiramisu home...and like the rest of the meal, it was delectable! Highly recommend....and will be back!

What a great find. Very nice staff and excellent food! We were very happy with everything. They even give all tables a complementary tomato, mozzarella and olive salad. We had the eggplant parm, filet with crabmeat and chicken with vodka sauce and all dishes were great. Highly recommend but it's a small place so make reservations. Street parking only.
The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. If you're looking for quality food, worth every penny, this is the place to go.

Wonderful experience! We were on the way home and decided to spend the night in Altoona. Found the restaurant on Google. Had grouper with crab supreme. Nicely done. Wife had filet and it was done perfectly. We will definitely return next summer on way to NY. This place is a real gem.
The food the exquisite. The dessert are made homemade. Taste as beautiful as they look.

It was a special occasion for my father’s birthday and my family enjoyed their meals. However I ordered veal saltimbocca and it was terrible. Looked like it was a light gravy unlike I made and had in other other restaurants. Sauce had no flavor. Veal was very tough. It was very disappointing.

Came here for a birthday/Valentine’s Day dinner a few months ago. Sub-par dining experience. We had a 2 person rsvp for 6:30 PM. The hostess told us to get drinks and sit in the bar while we waited. We were seated around 6:50-6:55 PM. While the waitress was initially attentive, she gradually decreased the amount of times she stopped at our table, and we had to wait for about 30 minutes to get checks/boxes for our food. Both entrees were “okay”, with filet being undercooked. Crab was good. We left close to 9 PM. Not sure if I would come back here again…
