    We had Chicken Risotto, Eggplant Parm, Veal Parm and Seafood Diavalo. Everything was great. If I want to be really picky, I would say the shrimp was a bit overcooked.

    It’s perfect knowing we have this little GEM in the neighborhood. Everyone I recommend this place to, thanks me over and over. We went in there the other night with our reservation and were sat immediately by the dining room side fish tank, alway a nice booth. Never rushed. Great drinks, basket of breads and cornbread w/ olive oil and butter. The meals were perfect, desert and coffee completed the night. Can’t wait until next time.
