    Always have an excellent diner here. I highly recommend the Osso Bucco and the short ribs. The creme brûlée was off this time around.

    The food was very good, but portions smaller than last time I was here. Unfortunately, the service as not good. We had at least three different waiters - one who took our drink order, one who took our dinner order and a different one who took our dessert order. Because of this, it seemed that nobody really knew where we were in the process of our dinner and the wait times were excessive. We had to make a comment after waiting 15 minutes to be asked if we wanted dessert - which we did. We used to love this restaurant, but after this last visit we will likely not return. Also, I was looking forward to Butternut Squash ravioli which was on the online menu, but was not on the menu when we visited the restaurant. Very disappointing.

    We eat here several times a year and it is consistently good. It was a busy Saturday night, so service was a bit slower than usual, but the food and atmosphere were outstanding as usual. It is a beautiful, welcoming place with excellent food and friendly service. After we were seated, they brought bread and bruschetta. Both were delicious, especially with the olive oil and vinegar at the table. We tried the special appetizer of broccoli and cheese soup and one of the special entrees--a pork ossobuco. Both were delicious! The desserts we wanted were sold out- it was very busy- so we didn't have dessert. I'm sure it was good since everything else we tried was tasty. We will definitely be back!

    This was our first time and we will be back! We had a wonderful dinner celebrating my daughter and her new fiancé! We picked the perfect place for this special occasion! Everyone was lovely, the food was delicious! The timing was perfect, we had a lovely meal and never felt rushed.

    First time at this special occasion place! Great combination of traditional Italian with some unique (but not weird) alternative preparations. Great service. Nice ambience too.
