Reviews
We started with the meatballs appetizer (put them to the test right away). Truly the best we’ve ever had, it was dueling forks as we fought for the last couple of scraps. She got the Chicken Parmesan and I opted for the Veal Picatta. The dishes were perfect, pasta cooked just right and the savory sauces and protein made for a delicious version of these traditional dishes. And as it should be, fresh shredded Parmesan added to order tableside.
The cocktails were incredibly creative. Check the one pictured, where the drink tastes exactly like the cookie on top. Wow.
Their average rating on here being “only” a 4.8 is criminal, this is one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. 6*
We started with the lobster arancini, and they were pure perfection — golden brown on the outside, with a delicate crunch that gave way to creamy risotto filled with tender chunks of lobster. The flavor was rich yet balanced, enhanced by a light drizzle of lemon aioli that brought everything together beautifully. It’s one of those appetizers you instantly know you’ll order again on your next visit.
For the main course, the chicken parmigiana was absolutely outstanding. The chicken was tender and juicy, coated in crisp breadcrumbs and topped with a velvety tomato sauce and melted mozzarella. It had just the right amount of seasoning and was perfectly portioned. Each bite was comforting, flavorful, and full of that classic Italian soul that makes you smile with every forkful.
Then came the cioppino, which was nothing short of extraordinary. The broth was deep, aromatic, and packed with fresh seafood — mussels, shrimp, scallops, and tender fish — all cooked to perfection. It was a dish that showcased both the kitchen’s skill and its heart, with layers of flavor that reminded me of coastal Italy.
Beyond the food, the ambiance made the experience even more special. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, always ready with a smile or a recommendation. The cozy lighting, soft music, and overall welcoming atmosphere made the meal feel both relaxed and refined.
The owners, especially Lisa and her sons who manage the kitchen and bar, were incredibly hospitable, polite, and professional. The drinks were also fantastic—we sampled a margarita, an old-fashioned, some wine, and a cocktail, all of which were exceptional.
Overall, this restaurant deserves a Michelin star for its outstanding food, reasonable prices, and impeccable service. I can’t recommend it enough and can’t wait to come back!
Ps: I meant to take pictures of the dessert but unfortunately it looks so good. I devoured it before I had a chance to take pictures.
Update: Thanks for the response. This is not the back door. You can choose to defend yourself or learn from the situation. For clarity, we did call in advance and I don’t feel the need to further defend myself against the lack of hospitality. What I do know is a male employee did approach our table and yank/aggressively pull my son’s chair. When we asked if he was okay, he said no! He felt threatened and confused as to why someone working at the restaurant would treat him that way – and he matters most! That’s why the review was shared.
I will be back to update on the drink situation, because they have some wild options that look like an amazing time.
Now for the food, we didn’t drink so I can talk about that, maybe next time. We got the stuffed peppers, meatballs, Ceasar salad and lobster rice balls, yes a lot to start but they have a lot that looks good on the menu and had to try a few things. The peppers were my favorite, the balsamic on them was perfect. Meatballs were nice and soft (no knife needed to cut) and the salad was fresh. The rice balls were awesome as well. I got the chicken Marsala as my main dish and the chicken was so tender I really didn’t need a knife for that either.
All in all I think you should stop by and try this place, I plan to be back soon myself.
My students were so well taken care of and felt safe and comfortable to practice the life skills that sometimes feel daunting.
That’s all without even mentioning the absolutely delicious food.
This community is so blessed to have this space and the amazing people behind it.
A million thanks is not enough!
