Guests praise the "chicken Parmesan" and "gluten-free pizza," while the "seasonal bacon-infused bourbon" is a standout. Despite occasional service hiccups, the restaurant remains a "local gem" with a welcoming staff and charming indoor and outdoor dining areas.

When we asked for a gluten-free pasta dish without cheese, we were told that all the options contained cheese. We then asked whether the kitchen could accommodate a simple request: gluten-free pasta with marinara sauce and vegetables. Surprisingly, even that wasn't possible. We weren't asking for anything elaborate, just a straightforward modification using ingredients already available in an Italian kitchen. It's disappointing when a restaurant offers gluten-free pasta but is unwilling or unable to accommodate someone who also cannot eat dairy. A little flexibility would have gone a long way.

However, I found the garlic parm chicken wings had too much sauce on them this time. Maybe I'll order sauce on side next time. Also, last time, the pasta bolognese was not as good as usual -- much smaller portion as prior times, and not as tasty. But still love the porkchop and 1/2 chicken entrees.

We were seated outside without even being asked if we preferred inside or outside. Food was served hot, but I found mine to be a bit underseasoned. Our waitress was very sweet. Nothing that would keep me from returning.

The Portions are getting smaller and the menu is getting more expensive and took almost 10 minutes to be greeted by our server, the couple next to us was sat after us and was serviced quicker and had drinks before we even got greeted. Not too impressed anymore with this restaurant. Put that we were there for a birthday and they never even mentioned it.
