All I can say is wow! Shrimp Alfredo is one of the entrees I probably have had most going out and wow, this really was the best I’ve ever had. Had so much flavor and perfectly cooked. The meatballs for appetizers were also incredible. I get calamari quite a bit and that was the only disappointment from the entire meal… it was not good at all. Way over cooked and super chewy, the flavoring was bad, but poorly cooked, wouldn’t get it again. Our server Johnny was amazing as well. We look forward to coming back.

This was our first time here, and a few friends highly recommended it; The place was nice and looked like a home from the outside; they have an outside covered seating if you like. Everyone looks like they work well together to keep the guest happy. Our waitress was very friendly and pleasant, and she went over the menu with us and even recommended some items. We met Carmelo’s father as he did our “bada bing” dish, which was awesome. All the appetizers were on point, including the other items we ordered. We will come back for sure.

What an amazing night! My husband surprised me with dinner to celebrate my 50th birthday. From the moment we arrived to the leaving, the staff, food and atmosphere did not disappoint. My dinner was the Sacchettini, recommend by our waiter Sutton, my husband had the Veal Parmigiana. Both dishes were amazing and I would recommend them too. My only negative, and not really that bad, was I don’t think dress code is followed. In the end, it was a great night and we will be back.

Enjoyed an amazing dinner for 2, our server Sutton was very accommodating & knowledgeable. The calamari is a must have appetizer & the wedding soup with chicken tasted great. I had the swordfish entree(photo attached) & I would recommend it to anyone.

Although we had a reservation, we still had to wait for 25 minutes. We walked over to the bar area and ordered a drink. The service personnel the bar was quite attentive and informative. When we finally got our table, our server was quite professional but could have been a little more on top of things. For the appetizer, we ordered the Scampi which here is similar to a shrimp bruschetta. There were some good flavors in it but it was a little bland and needed seasoning. For the entrees I ordered the shrimp and scallop limoncello. There was a good amount of shrimp and scallops which I was glad to see. However, the scallops were just under and, there were too many other items in the dish. The sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes were both unnecessary but a little heat and a little more seasoning would have picked up the dish a little. Overall though, it was a good dish. Jeff ordered the Bocconcini Alla Marsala. The steak was cooked to a good temperature although he said it was under seasoned. He enjoyed the sides of green beans and truffle mashed potatoes but again, they were a little under seasoned and he couldn’t taste the truffle in the mashed potatoes. A little salt and pepper and some editing would have gone a long way to making a good experience into an great one.
