    Food was delicious. We ordered the meat and cheese antipasto and it was delicious and generous. My wild boar pappardelle was very good with plenty of meat in it. The only slight complaint I have is the drinks. I ordered a Paloma and it was watery tasting. Also, my red wine was served cold. Other than that, we loved it.

    Our meals were outstanding!! Had a wonderful Valentines 💝 day. Our server was very attentive, parking was great with valet. So happy the Vinum offerings are on the menu. My husband enjoyed his Pork Osso Bocco, he wanted marrow but bone is solid. Loved our meals from appetizer of Cauliflower Au Gratin & Beet Salad. Main meals Chicken Martini & Pork Osso Bocco. Dessert of Napoleon was so delicious. ☕️ was delish.

    It exceeded every expectation. Every plate that came out was delicious. The staff was great, very friendly, easy to talk to and if u have questions are concerns they go above and beyond. Felt like I went to a friend or family members home. Ricardo was an amazing waiter. The chef made a great porterhouse and even came out to check if we liked it. Great place can’t recommend it enough

    Invited two friends to dinner and one that don’t really eat much had the double cut pork chops not only he ate the whole dish but wanted to order another one. That was how good it was. The chef Massimo and his wife was such great host it felt like home. Definitely a great place to go and have a great dinner!!!
