My friend and I had a great Black Friday lunch- I had the short rib lasagna and she had a salad with chicken. We both loved our meals. We had a reservation and we were seated immediately and our server was excellent. Attentive, but also allowed us girlfriends good conversation time. Oh- we shared the olive oil cake for dessert and that was good too!

We dined here Tuesday night. It is the prettiest restaurant in the area. The food was very good. White bean dip, Misto Fritto and Pasta. Everything was delicious. The sound level was really good… you could actually hear each other! We really enjoyed it.
