The marinara mussels are going to make you ask for more bread, you’ll want to soak up all the sauce (don’t say I didn’t warn you) I ordered the salmon, it was delicious, my wife ordered the chicken parm and couldn’t finished it, it was great and now I have lunch for today. Didn’t have any room but we decided on double espressos and tiramisu, somehow there was room for it! If you can, ask for Stefanos he’s an amazing server and a great guy! I spoke Italian to him throughout the entire dinner and then found out he’s Greek and just happens to know Italian among many other languages. Talented guy right here! Very attentive and it was a pleasure to share limoncello shots at the end. You gotta eat here!

Excellent, knowlegeable service and a relaxed serving pace added to our enjoyment. Unfotunately, the food quality was uneven. The seafood/pasta dish was excellent while the more traditional Italian dishes were deemed "average". The spaghetti sauce was blunt and reminded the guest of sauces served at inferior establishments. Same with the veal parmigian - the sauce overwhelmed the veal, rendering it tasteless. There is a nice selection of appetizers - escargots, deep fried zucchini, etc. - which were enjoyed by all.
