The staff was warm and welcoming. We had a nice table only after I asked to be seated properly for a group of 5 which required more than two small table pushed together. But not a huge deal. It's very loud and lively which is fun but challenging to hear or for myself and son who have sensory issues. It took a very long time +20 minutes to get appetizers and then a long interlude before the mains arrived. The sea bass specials over risotto were appealing and quite flavorful, as was the stuffed veal entree. Sadly my dish, shrimp with tagatelle pasta in a pesto cream sauce with sun dried tomato's must have sat in the window because the sauce was like paste and needed to be thinned out and the shrimp were all over cooked and hard. The capellin with chicken and capers in a white wine lemon sauce was good but the chicken had an odd texture. It would have been much better flashed filed with a coating of some variety. Overall a nice meal but my choice and one other were way off the mark, and if you are hungry best to order and appetizer even if you're in a tight budget because we don't eat until 8 and we're there at 6:30. The service was attentive and a tad over friendly at times and the parking is adequate all be it challenging as it it located on a busy major road. Lastly three dishes were a 5/5 and one was a 3/5 and one was a 1/5. I only ate a small portion of mine and leftovers were not so great. Good spot but get there before 6 as it gets busy and dishes are made to order so be prepared to wait.

What a find! Food is excellent. Our server Riley was top notch. We could not have asked for a better night. This was a reunion of sorts with friends we met on a recent tour in Italy. We are going to make this a regular get together and are looking forward to our next visit.

Took my husband here for the first time last night. Crunchy bread, which we love, and a very unique grilled arugula salad that I don't see at other restaurants. Servers were very attentive and my main course of one vodka with sharing was delicious. My husband could not resist having Carmel gelato for dessert and it do not disappoint. It's BYOB which we appreciate.

Food was outstanding. Meadow, our server was delightful. We thought it was a little expensive for a BYOB.

Will. a newer server, did a very nice job. Attentive and clear reading the specials. Two great entrees. Halibut was great and my paste/crab/spinach and cream sauce was excellent. B.A. is highly recommended. Will go again.

My husband and I come here at least once or twice. A month I love their chicken piccata and my husband loves their seafood fish special. And of course, he has to have his. Grill octopus. This is.
An amazing little Italian restaurant. We just love coming here. It feels like you're at home. Love love. And of course I got a mentioned metal. She is amazing Waitress. She has a very nice smile when she greets us coming in.

Ben her a few times and it's always nice. Great menu and interesting specials. Meatballs are great as a starter and the special beet salad was yummy. We had the 4 cheese tortelloni, chicken picata, linguini w/clams, and a special shrimp ravioli (squid ink pasta) with crab and sausage - all delicious! Servers are friendly and attentive. BYOB, which is nice. Very nice cheesecake to finish, they were out of the Kataifi (sp?)..

Dietary restrictions: They did warn us about nuts in the pesto spread that came with the bread...

Parking: Not tons of spots, but probably enough for them when the other places are closed
