Food was awesome, I’m gluten free and my family isn’t. Their food they said was great, my food was very good. I split the mussels and baked “ziti” with my husband. They offer a gluten free noodle which was slightly undercooked but the mussels were definitely some of the best I’ve had in a while. We had to ask multiple times for a gluten free bread/oil, but once we got them it was pretty good for gf. Small venue but great food, especially if you’re not in a hurry.Dietary restrictions: They offer a mostly gluten free menu, with a few items that cannot be made gf. You have to ask multiple times, but once you get it- it’s pretty good.

The wait staff need some lessons on what makes good service. Some of the food is very good.

Decided to try this place after all the "rave" reviews it got. Three of us for dinner and found this place less than "rave". Cocktails took 15 minutes to get to the table. Clearly they were not staffed properly. Service was poor. The food was bland. We had shrimp parmesan, eggplant parmesan, and the veal special. None of us liked our meal.Definitely will not be back.

This was our first time here and it was delicious! The chicken parm was perfectly done. It was thin and had the right amount of cheese on top! The shrimp scampi over angel hair had the right amount of sauce and wasn't drowning in butter and oil. When you're dinner is done don't forget to take cheesecake home! We were too full to eat there! We'll be back!
I've never begun a review raving about the bread. The bread. Amazing hot garlicky mess. And the cheesecake, the best we've ever had. Service could be a little brisker, bur the bartender was on her break. Get it we were there in the afternoon. Got some specials to go, hope they are as good as they sounded.
Fantastic and amazing w/ gluten free options! My then 9 year old son went nuts for their bolognese sauce!!

we had reservations and were sat right away. restaurant is very dated but still has charm. I couldn't decide between two entrees and the waiter offered me a half plate of each. the eggplant parmigiana was like shaved eggplant piled high. soooo delicious. the scallops were perfectly seared, the side of fettuccine was amazing. the waiter was super nice and attentive. this was one of the best meals we've ever had. make reservations or you won't get in!
