We were a table of 6. Four were happy with their meal while 2 said their meals were not well seasoned. They were very disappointed in the Caesar salad, the capellini with jumbo lump crabmeat and the veal saltimbocca. I enjoyed one of the evening specials, the squid ink pasta with crabmeat. Others enjoyed the salmon with crab cake, and gnocchi with sausage (without much sausage). The live music started at 6pm. While we enjoyed listening to the oldies, it was so loud that conversation was impossible. When making the reservation, I noted we were celebrating a birthday. The entertainer came over a wished our table a happy birthday. I did not think anything about it until I saw a group of servers with a lit candle arrive at another table and they sang ‘Happy Birthday'. I was disappointed!

On a double date — my wife and I plus another couple. This was our second visit here, their first (on our recommendation). Very happy to report that everyone had a great time. This remains a very good Italian restaurant with fair pricing, delicious food, and attentive service. Don't let the strip mall location fool you — this is worth the trip as it's within 2 miles or so of the Parx Casino complex. We'd be pleased to return again on another occasion and we look forward to doing so!

My husband and I love this restaurant!!! The people that work there are just the nicest people and very good at their jobs. Hostess, bartenders , servers and wait staff, truly all of them. The food is absolutely delicious! We have tried many different things and it is always so good. On Friday night we had a scallop appetizer special that was just perfect. We love the entertainment! We have heard all different duos, groups and genres of music and have enjoyed every single one. I highly recommend it!

This is a hidden gem in Bensalem in a strip mall not far from the nearby Parx Casino. From the outside, it doesn't seem like much being in a strip of stores but that hides a gem of a very nice restaurant & bar with entertainment. Here you'll find quality Italian food and attentive service. Pricing is fair for what you get, no complaints. The bar seems to be a place for many to gather at Happy Hour, and there is frequent low-key entertainment that can be heard throughout the restaurant. It might not be quiet or look fancy from the outside, but you'd likely pay more for less at one of the Casino restaurants. We'd gladly go back even if though it's not exactly right in our neighborhood. But it's worth the trip and worth trying very much.

First time diners, have been seeing good things about it. Walked in and was greeted by a friendly and helpful hostess, seated quickly. There was live music, it was nice but EXTREMELY loud and jarring. Forget having a conversation or relaxing for a 7pm dinner, it wasn't the vibe for dinner service more like a bar level loudness. The service from our waitress was slow, I forget her name young girl very nice but was inattentive. It took 20 mins just to get our drinks (non alcoholic) and bread. Our salad took half an hour and entrees 45 mins? The food was good, almost great. I got salmon with pasta and vodka sauce, the beet salad and my daughter got seafood pasta. Bread and bruschetta was also good. I will definitely try again and really hope the music isn't insanely loud for a restaurant and that they find their groove for timing of drinks and food. Hostess and other staff were also very nice and they helped fill in when our waitress wasn't available. Prices were fair.

We had my grandmother’s post-funeral luncheon here and it was a great experience. The service was wonderful - the staff was very prompt and attentive - we had a very large group and the food was very good.

Surprisingly bland food from an aggressive and average chef. Menu is littered with typos and the food leaves something to be desired.
Be prepared for a dissertation and delusions of grandeur from the owner and "chef"

Vice President Harris needs to start with this place for Price Gouging! Beware the online menu is half of what the actual price is. I paid $18.00 for 3 Flattened Unseasoned and Strangely Shaped Wanna Be Chicken Tenders plus seven Greesey Fries! They Also charged me an Extra $2.00 for about an ounce of Watered Down Marinara Sauce! I wouldn't send my worst enemy here to this dump. What a joke and by Reading EVERYONE'S reviews Everyone AGREES!

Ive had better gas station premade sandwiches than this meal over the weekend. Bland, 1980's food that looked reheated and overcooked.
The owner kept coming to the table to make small talk, cracking jokes about how dumb Donald Trump is, for some reason. Please just avoid this place.

Fabulous restaurant. There were 3 of us. The filet mignon was better than most famous steakhouses. My dinner was ok. Had a special. And the lobster ravioli was delicious as well. The band that was playing was phenomenal! Service was wonderful. Thank you for a great dinner!
