We have been dining here since they first opened and keep going back. The Basile family is always there to keep everything top notch. Dining is casual and always super clean and nice. We have never had a meal that wasn't excellent.

An excellent Italian restaurant! Was a delightful experience to dine here. Their inhouse bread was heavenly and their gnocci was a treat. The tangy tomato sauce was flavourful and appetizing. Cannot recommend this place enough!
