This was our second visit. My wife and I had a great experience. The food and the service was top notch. I made a mistake. One of the specials was chicken parm with pasta as a side order. When they brought out the special it was served on a large board. It look like a large pizza but was chicken parm. It was delicious but I could only eat wife. Beware of the specials unless you have a large party to enjoy it. My wife had the filet of soul of which she loved.

We went before a show and the restaurant filled up quickly. I had their soup special, pumpkin with asparagus which was delicious. But my Entree was even more fabulous. I ordered the Spaghetini Arrabiato and I’m still regretting that I couldn’t finish it! It was so delicious. The restaurant is BYOB which we didn’t know. But we were able to walk less than a block and pick up a bottle of wine. I would completely recommend this place.
