    Consistently good food amazing service. Our waiter Nick was so outgoing and friendly and so attentive to everything we needed didn't grunt once when we made requests and the meal. You mentioned that he was celebrating his 8-year anniversary at the restaurant and it shows. I highly recommend if you go there to ask for Nick as your server. Excellent experience!!

    I had the Bronzino …and shared that and the shrimp dish after my friend saw my plate and got food envy. Both were delicious… long time customer- always a great meal. One day I want to try the lasagna- it looks amazing but I’m always on a diet!
