★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Altieri · Jul 2025

First time visit. Looks like a small corner restaurant from the outside but inside has lots of table seating and a full bar. There is also patio seating outback tables with umbrellas really nice. There is on street parking and a small parking lot out back. Service was excellent. Nice menu with a lot to choose from. Prices were competitive and portion size was perfect. I would definitely return.

Food was good, let’s start with that. However, service was very slow and they did not have a full house when we were there, at best it was half full. We also had to ask multiple times for bread and drinks. They nickel and dime customers by charging for refills and adding a 3% fee for using a credit card. They brought us an extra plate we didn’t order then tried to charge us for it. The atmosphere was nice and the food again, was good. However, due to the service being very slow and the nickel and dime nature, we most likely won’t ever go back.

1.Water tastes like city tap water without proper filtration. 2. The food was good however it was drenched in so much sauce that it overpowered all the other ingredients flavors of the dish causing a bland taste. It is because of those reasons that i consider it slightly overpriced. 3. Atmosphere was great. 4. Service started off great until the end. They tried to charge me an additional 3% credit card use fee that was automatically added to my total. They didn't respectively ask me what form of payment I would be using today. They just automatically added it. when I brought it to their attention that I would be paying in cash. They got frustrated & disgruntled because they had to fix the bill. I gave them cash to pay the bill and the server made a True Statement that a tip would be

Where to start. We wanted so bad to like it here, it was our first time coming and when we walked in it seemed like a quanit little place, a hidden gem. Unfortunately the service and the ridiculous wait time ruined this dining experience. We had to ask for drinks several times throughout the whole meal In order to get them. Also had to ask for more bread at least 4 times. The food took forever to come out, granted we were a table of 11 but over an hour is just unacceptable, it really wasn't even that busy. The real problem began at check time. We ordered 3 kids meals they brought 4. We ordered 1 Moscato they charged us for 2. The very unfortunate part is they then argued with us and would not take the items off the check. On top of that they then tried to force a 20 percent tip and then ad

You Need To Know? Arrived with reservations for 5:30 on a Friday Night to this fine dining Italian restaurant. Service was quick & polite. We ordered the cheese ravioli with Alfredo sauce which the sauce was delicious & made the ravioli worth it. We also had chicken ricotta which was stuffed with prosciutto. Fantastic flavor only wish there was more of it to fill the appetite. We also had the braised beef short ribs which were served with roasted potatoes & green beans. The beef fell off the bone it was very tender. The homemade gravy sauce was fantastic & worth a try if you stop by. Quiet, fancy, & flavorful...what more can you ask for. Now You Know! - TBH
