The food was fantastic with kind folks and a nice atmosphere. We got the autumn special chicken. It was packed with flavor. I appreciated that they allowed us a small sample of a couple wines to decide on, too.

Our favorite Italian spot. Top quality food, reasonably priced. Always a good vibe with excellent service from a good crew that seems to stay the same. Food is always phenomenal, piping hot and tasty and drinks are great. Our fav is the chicken parm (get it with vodka sauce) For first timers just pay attention to the time limits on tables as they turn them fast.

I always enjoy Jonathan’s food, never been disappointed. Had the baked haddock with seafood stuffing, it was delicious. I dined with 3 other people who share my experience. Carlos out server went above and beyond. He has a great sense of humor, he knows the menu, very professional. Thank you to Jonathan and his entire staff for a wonderful evening.
