   Really disappointing! Came here with friends from out of town for my birthday and multiple food orders were cold or wrong, the staff started vacuuming/putting everything away at the restaurant before closing and before we had left. Really bad service, I wanted to love it because of the other great reviews but they have a lot of work to do to make it better!

   The food was excellent! Portions matched the price for me. The staff were friendly, professional, and accommodating. My family found our new Italian restaurant!

   From the time we walked in everything was perfect. Our server (sorry can’t remember his name) was very knowledgeable about the food 2 seafood platters, piccata chicken and chicken Parmesan was hot when it was served and was delicious. The only complaint I have is the band in the bar was too loud.

   Honestly, this was probably the best dining experience I have ever had, anywhere. We went for my birthday. I was told happy birthday by at least 8 members of the staff on the way to my table. Our waiter was incredibly amicable and attentive. I'm sorry I can't remember her name(dark haired woman in her 30s or 40s). She offered to create some fruit flavored teas for our 9 year old, that weren't on the menu that he absolutely loved! Every bite of food was great/amazing. We had the fried green tomatoes for appetizer. Very crispy and well seasoned with a liberal amount of feta cheese and some type of sweet red pepper jelly. For entrees, I had veal parmigiana with spinach casserole. My lady had the halibut special with lemon caper sauce and mushroom risotto. Everything had tons of flavor and was cooked absolutely perfectly. That halibut was glistening! I was also very generously offered a free dessert for my birthday. I went with the espresso creme brulee and was not disappointed. I can not recommend this place enough for any special night out! A perfect blend of ambiance, hospitality, and culinary excellence.

   Live music is a good idea but the place is too small for it. If you’re in the front room you can’t have a conversation

   Dinner was great with good cocktails- only complaint was that dessert took almost 20 minutes to arrive at which we had already finished our cappuccinos
