DG was not making eggplant parma on 2/14, a staple on their menu, and they were out of the tortellini at 6PM, not acceptable. Veal was very good. Wine was overpriced. Nicely decorated for Valentine's Day. Will try again when the eggplant is back on the menu.

We love this restaurant and always have excellent food and we would give the service a 10!!!!!! Later this year we are planning a family reunion and they are at the top of our list to book the celebration because they have two private rooms that would be perfect to use! Sue R.

I made reservations for 4 at lunch on Saturday. We went to celebrate a birthday and spend quality time together. I had the chicken Marsala lunch special which also included a lentil soup (the best I’ve EVER had) and chocolate mousse for dessert. The food and service were outstanding! We will definitely return soon.

The kitchen forgot our order so we waited an hour with little explanation from the server. Excellent tortellini. Eggplant Parmesan mushy.
