    We orders the fried zucchini and the Avocado and shrimp appetizers and they were great! We also ordered the Veal Romantico and the Veal Saltimbuca main dish and they were outstanding!!! The pumpkin martini's are one of a kind. This was our first time and we will be back!!

    The entire experience is warm and inviting. This is a place where familiar food is cooked to perfection. Not for the foody looking for new and trendy. Classic dishes served with a warm and inviting vibe. You truly feel like you are a favored and most welcomed family guest, starting with the valet. The bread is unbeatable and the dipping sauce a mixture of shredded cheese, spices and olive oil is addictive. If the artichoke is offered, (on the daily specials) get it. That is uniquely moist and a far cry from the typical dried out bread crumb door stops that are so often offered by others.

    Live music was fun. Super cold air blowing on food. Long wait for service but very nice people. Got peppers were over the top inedible hot . Gluten free pasta was mushy and terrible. Mussels were chewy. Salad and sauce were delicious. Cocktails (martinis) lacked a good shake / high quality mixers. Like a cosmo should be light pink and foamy not red and clear. Tiramisu was excellent. Nostalgic type of place seemed to be many locals and long time customers who pick their own favorite table. Local gem.

    From the moment we walked through the door, we were made to feel like family. The food was outstanding. The service was out of this world. They were very detailed oriented right down to clearing the crumbs on the table when clearing the table. If in the area definitely a restaurant to check out!

    Our veal was dry, and the bread was so hard that we couldn't break it apart.
