My wife thought the truffle oil in pasta was too strong, but I liked it. Baked manicotti was great. Old fashioned cocktail was nice. Atmosphere feels like a high class 1980s restaurant.

The atmosphere was very nice but the 80's music! Ruined it!! How about a little Italian dinner music 🤔 I had mushroom ravioli. The ravioli was nicely done, but the sauce was really rich and heavy and a little sweet. I also had the creamy lemon basil soup with orzo which was crisp and creamy. Great flavors. Service was excellent.

The atmosphere was very relaxing and service was phenomenal. My wife rated the food very high and the only reason I didn’t was because the food was a little too fancy for my palate but what I did eat was very good and we will definitely be back.

Got horrific food poisoning 9/9/24. Almost went to the hospital. Had promethazine prescription in the house from last year's acute pancreatitis After having meningitis for 2 weeks last summer and the doxycycline tearing up my stomach not being able to eat at all except for a few bites of applesauce. Had it not been for this medication I do believe I would have called 911.
Been here several times and always had a good experience until this unfortunate event. It was a Monday night. As a former server, I have a rule that I only eat fish on Fridays and Saturday nights. I wish I hadn't broken my own rule.
I think it was the scallops with the orange sauce, but also had arancini app, the grouper special with white wine lemon sauce. Also had two ginger ales.
I called the restaurant the next morning to alert them so that nobody else would get sick and hopefully they would do whatever a restaurant has to do when they get a call like that. Their response was to thank me for letting them know and they told me that an insurance company might be giving me a call for details. They offered no compensation of any kind, no gift certificate or anything like that. Not that I would have wanted it, I'll never EAT here again, sadly.
I hate having to leave a review like this Because you don't know if it's the food itself before it arrived at the restaurant and something happened in transit, or if it was mishandled during preparation.
I know it was this restaurant that made me sick because I had not eaten a lot at all that entire week, and had nothing to eat at all that day. By the time I got to the restaurant I had not eaten in over 24 hours.
I used to like this place and the staff 😞🤮 I'M pretty sure it was the scallops, but who knows. On Monday nights, perhaps it was leftovers from deliveries from the previous week.
I will be STRONGLY alerting all friends, acquaintances and strangers alike about the experience I had there.

I think it was the scallops with the orange sauce, but also had arancini app, the grouper special with white wine lemon sauce, and tiramisu. It's a shame because the tiramisu was the best tiramisu I've ever had in my life. Also had two ginger ales.

The food portions and temps were amazing. It was some of the best Italian we have had outside of Italy. The Filet Marsala would have been better with the spinach versus the pasta because the flavor of the Marsala would have absorbed better.
Our new favorite Italian restaurant! Everything we tried was so good from ricotta, bread, spaghetti and meatballs. The Pina colada cheesecake was an awesome surprise!
