    We came a great time on Christmas Eve..2:30. It wasn't crowded. Service was fair. Good thing we were seated by the water pitchers, because our server never checked on refills! I had a sugar cookie martini..watered down. Nonna's meatballs were fantastic @ I had the cod. It was tasty but greasy. My husband said his salmon was OK. We both had spooning for dessert...a bit pricey at $8 each!? There was nothing outstanding to make an effort to go back here. Just mediocre.

    The food and service were great. And they have the restaurant divided into smaller rooms which lessens the noise level. Highly recommend.
