    Unfortunately, they did not see our reservation when we arrived and the hostess seemed very annoyed. She didn’t take us to the table. She just pointed. It was also the waiter’s first official day and he had not learned any of the specials or the desserts. So he just to out the book and read to us. Food was tasty though and the atmosphere is very nice.

    We love the wedding soup and the garlic rolls with dipping sauce. We both had lobster ravioli and everything was delicious. Jennifer is a great waitress.

    The mussels and meatballs were excellent! We also had a specialty pizza and a beet salad which were good. Our server was very good and had a fun sense of humor. Prices are very reasonable too. We will definately go back!

    Amazing food and service. Wonderful a very nice Caesar salad followed by Braised Lamb Shank with a rich sauce and Tagliatelle Pasta. I had a chocolate mousse for dessert, so rich and delicious I will be remembering it for days to come. I also tasted the Potato Gnocchi with a Pesto Cream Sauce which was divine, I will be having that on our next visit. Staff is always attentive and personable. An enjoyable experience.
