    We very much enjoyed our dinner here! Service was quick and very accommodating! Food was delicious and served piping hot. The carrot cake dessert was absolutely to-die for!!! The restaurant is a bit loud but there was also a large party seated nearby.

    Food was just so-so. In my opinion, an Italian restaurant is judged on its sauce. The bolengse sause was flavorless. I had to keep adding cheese to my pasta because the sauce was bland. I'm from Sicily, the sauce was really bad. this place was disappointing. The service was fine, but the dish had nothing special to offer.

    I love this restaurant every time I come here the food is just amazing. Service is always great. They have a lemon cello that will knock your socks off Donnie the GM does a great job. The bar is fully stacked. Their food is excellent. I had to sautéed calamari today and it was without a doubt the best I've ever had. Good wine selection love the Cabernet blend. Ordered a side Caesar salad and it was a full meal. Unbelievable this place is great.
