    Exceptional food, service and wonderful atmosphere. In addition to very kind people who work there, the nightly live music is both fun and classy. This is a reliable and consistent restaurant if you are wondering to try it out for the first time or first time with friends. Doesn't disappoint. Thank you for your guest first attitude and service levels.

    Terrible food and priced way too high for the value. The live music made it impossible to talk to each other. The decor is outdated and dusty. Worst Italian food I have had in years.

    Food wasn’t good. As for ambiance… they were playing old pop songs and it didn’t make sense with the theme of the restaurant.
