    The food was amazing. The waiter we had was very nice, and the gentleman who was training him was also very nice. They both gave us tips on serving and advice on what to prepare with our leftovers. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas, and the food was delicious. They even celebrated our anniversary. We will definitely be back.

    The complimentary brushetta, grana cheese, various breads and fried zucchini were all very nice. The octopus appetizer was fabulous and I really liked that you could order half portions of pasta. The bolognese sauce was the best I’ve had and the veal Marsala was out of this world. Portions were plentiful and service impeccable. Would highly recommend this authentic Italian restaurant. The only negative was the noise level made it difficult to have a conversation.

    Our server Ashley was the nicest, most amazing server I have ever experienced. She catered to all of our needs perfectly and made small talk about our night which helped us a million. It was my birthday and she made my night extra special by providing us with a great experience. The service was amazing. Promote her.
