    I made a reservation here for Mother’s Day, but we got early and we’re able to be seated immediately outside. The service was impeccable. Food was delicious. We had mussels and pasta, linguine and clam sauce chicken Parm and Caesar salad with chicken cutlet as well as the calamari for an appetizer.

    We made a reservation for 6:30 pm. We arrived at 6;00, we were greeted warmly and with a big smile by the Gentleman outside and the maitre D. We sat in the back in a beautifully decorated room. Frank was our waiter, he was professional, friendly and very attentive. We loved him. The chicken parm and Marsala was perfect, even the cappuccino s and cannoli were great. After dinner we had drinks at the bar, the bartender was friendly and attentive. I should also mention the opera singer, she sang beautifully and just added to the overall experience. As you can see from this review it was a great experience, highly recommend and will definitely return
