Nice quiet evening spent with friends. Food was delivered quickly. We enjoyed the Greek salad. The Meatballs were moist and had good flavor in the sauce. The polenta cakes didn’t have much flavor but the shrimp was good. Caprese was a large portion but unfortunately my tomato still had the core. The Halibut feature was ok. Chefs pasta and Chicken Marsala were good. Would visit again to try some different menu items.

Don’t let the outside fool you, this place is absolutely fantastic! Service was excellent, the atmosphere is dim lighting, upper scale yet somewhat rustic. And the FOOOOOD. Oh my gosh. Best food I’ve had since moving here. The meatballs were by far the best I have ever had. The bread is warm, crusty and delicious. I got chicken parm which came with soup or salad. It was amazing. Some of the best I have ever had. My husband got penne ala vodka which was also SO GOOD. The sauce was perfect. It came with grilled chicken which we could of just ate by itself on a plate, that’s how delicious and juicy it was. Our server was Zach and he was so attentive but not over bearing! He replaced my drink without me asking because he noticed I wasn’t feeling it and never missed a beat! He was very polite and didn’t even want to accept the tip we left him! We had an excellent time and will definitely be back soon!

We really liked this place. The space at our booth didn’t leave much room for us and we are both thin people. The veal parm was great and the vodka with chicken was pretty good. I really liked the soup I got. The side salad was just ok but I’m not a fan of arugula salads and should have went with the Ceasar salad. I can definitely see us going back sometime.

I visited twice within the same week the calamari was really good delicious marinara sauce is served with it. Tim was my server on the first visit and Lily was my server the second visit both were great! The lasagna, bolognese, chicken alfredo, and the chicken marsala were all amazing definitely a place to visit for great Italian food the prices are worth the value of the food. Fresh grated parm is brought out with your dish a new favorite restaurant for year to come.

I absolutely adore this place. The service is wonderful, as well as the food & beverage. I personally make it a point to visit every Friday or Saturday, because the servers are phenomenal- as well as the owner Claudia (who is very present for her clientele). Vara, the Managing Bartender creates a fantastic specialty cocktail every week that I never get bored of trying. Take yourself somewhere nice to eat!

The food was fantastic. Our server,not so much.
But we won’t let one bad service experience deter us from going back for Great Italian cuisine.

This is the best Italian restaurant my wife and I have found since moving south from NY a year ago. The veal Saltimbocca was amazing, service was excellent, and they had a great wine list. Added bonus was créme brulee cheesecake (which I had never heard of before) and decaf Cappuccino. We visited in September, 2025, but we WILL return!

The food is consistently good and the portions are huge. I had the blackened scallops in gorgonzola sauce. Soooo good! The veal saltimbocca was also great.
