    Delicious food! Great service! They accidentally brought an unordered pasta and let us keep that one and also gave us the correct one. Scrumptious italian food. I definitely recommend the garlic bread.

    Great ambience went for a anniversary recently, servers were really nice. Came and checked up on us quite frank frequently. I had the vodka pasta wasn’t the best vodka pasta. I’ve had a little underseasoned food. I will give a three star. Don’t mind paying for good food, but wasn’t the best for the price

    Food was bland, mediocre, & over priced! The ambiance & staff were nice. I usually don’t write negative reviews on any platforms but disappointed that I cancelled my other reservation for this place. Also, they advertised that they had the “Greatest Hits menu” 7 days a week. They didn’t. My motto, “Quality over quantity”.
