    From the pleasant greeting from the valet and then being greeted by the host who made you feel so welcomed you know you were in for a night of unwinding and enjoyment. So many options anyone with any diet issues can eat here comfortably. The high-quality food with nice protein/fresh vegetable portions is absolutely delicious. Thanks Chef As for the dessert & wine list just exceptional. You can’t go wrong with the ambience which has a charm of its own. Now as for the service you can’t ask for any better. Everyone made sure your table had enough water, bread or anything else you needed. As for our very nice waitress Anna, with her warm smile she was a pleasure making sure you got your food exactly the way you liked. Great personality…. This restaurant is a true gem and worth the ride.

    We had dinner with friends on Sunday evening. The food was all great. Everyone loves the included bread. Our party had the eggplant, chicken parm, veal Marsala and the Nero ink squid pasta dish. We will return. It is a lovely place but can be noisy on crowded evening.

    The food was very good. My husband had the snapper and I had chicken francese. We also had the mozzarella caprese starter which is fantastic. Homemade and exceptionally delicious. The bread platter has several types of bread and we always enjoy it. All in all a wonderful experience.
