Great place to gather with friends and enjoy an evening of great tasting food and conversation. The service was reasonably paced. The prices are a bit on the higher side but well worth it. They also have an nice outdoor seating area with live music. The ambiance is perfect especially on cool evenings.

The decor and atmosphere is very calming and clean. The servers are very nice. The food is good but not anything out of the ordinary. It’s your typical Italian food. However the house vinaigrette that comes with the side salad is amazing.
