Delicious, as always! First time for my friends meeting me there, they were impressed with the portions and flavors. Also, great location for us to all “meet in the middle”. Could have just done apps and dessert- the bruschetta, parm wedges (I forget what they’re really called on the menu) and the burrata (which is a meal in itself) were more than enough for three of us and then some packed up to go, and then we ordered meals….chicken parm, veal parm, and the grilled chicken dinners- most of which were taken home due to the gigantic portions! The seasonal sangrias hit the spot and service was outstanding, as usual. We did not have room for dessert but had coffees as we exchanged gifts. We will be back!

Always a favorite. Never disappoints. We like to sit in the bar/ lounge area and people watch. Great atmosphere and great food. We always get the crab cocktail and the tenderloin with the risotto. We love the dim lighting and the well made cocktails. This has been one of our favorite places to go to for years.
