    Food was phenomenal! Had the polenta, meatballs, Margherita pizza & pork ragu pasta. Would recommend every dish. Service good. A bit of a loud atmosphere, but was there on Valentine’s day.

    The penne con pollo is really amazing! The Cabbage salad is served just alittle warm? Wasn’t sure about that, but it turns out, warm brought out the flavors that serving it cold would have missed. Our server help choose the perfect glass a wine. A perfect Valentines lunch!

    When we checked in with hostess she said, Whose birthday is it? Once seated the staff brought to the table a lovely handwritten birthday card. Though we chose not to order dessert they brought an irresistible vanilla ice cream with lit candle to complete my celebration. Service was impeccable. The waiter was able to say “yes” to each request. The halibut upon a bed of lentil and carrot was divine. They offered a “house wine” that was red, a Cabernet Sauvignon. It was excellent. This restaurant has their act together. No wonder almost every seat was filled.
