Great restaurant! So many plain old pizza joints. Here you have a restaurant that makes u feel like u r special. A hidden gem. People must think it is just for banquets and not for the general public. Views are fantastic and food is excellent and staff is great!

This is my new favorite restaurant. Love the charming rustic decor. I feel like we’re in the Pennsylvania countryside when we’re here. The service is phenomenal, the server and the support staff are there whenever you need them. Very friendly and attentive. Now, the food. Absolutely delicious. Best rice balls ever. Honestly, I never liked rice balls until these. Crispy, cheesy delicious! All the salads are exquisitely composed. The way the greens are sliced and perfectly dressed. We had the tricolore with roasted butternut squash (finely chopped) with crispy shallots and cider vinaigrette. I’d had the halibut with lobster cream sauce and lump crab last week, which was a large fresh piece of flaky moist fish. Someone at the next table had the shrimp scampi and I already knew I had to try it this time. It was without question, not even close, the best shrimp scampi of my 50 years. The sauce was the perfect combo of wine lemon and butter. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with a crunchy breadcrumb topping. Oh, the Brussel sprouts side is also a standout. Dessert, don’t bother looking at the menu- just get the graham cracker gelato with a cappuccino, You’ll thank me later; I promise.

Although the restaurant was busier than we expected on Christmas evening, the service was quite efficient. We enjoyed our dinners, and everything was served hot and ready-to-eat. Alberto always greets us when we visit. He wished us a Merry Christmas and made sure we were satisfied. The servers checked up on us to see if we needed more silverware, drinks, etc. We went home happy and full!
