    First time back after a number of years, and quite pleased with current decor and table spacing. Food was excellent and service from Joe A. matched. Wine reasonably priced, but for a combined wine bar, would have liked a greater variety. A little noisy but did not have to speak with raised voices. Look forward to next visit much sooner!

    My wife and I arrived early for reservation so we could have a drink at the bar. The bartender, BJ, was most attentive and knowledgeable and we were served our libations immediately. We were seated promptly for our 6pm reservations. The atmosphere was great and the tables set immaculately. Our Server, Joe, took our orders right away and served our orders for food and wine were delivered accurately. The salads were fresh and the main course hot, plentiful and delicious! The food and drinks were very reasonably priced. Our compliments to the entire staff for a wonderful, enjoyable dining experienced!

    Nice restaurant and the food is delicious. I substituted the angel hair pasta instead of potatoes and it is the best pasta I’ve ever had. Don’t miss out on this gem.

    Food is phenomenal! And as always our server, Nick, is the best!!!! He can answer any questions and give u full details on prep of every meal, especially the specials to help u choose. ( request him if u can) U never feel rushed, but certainly not sitting and waiting for your meals. Everything is timed perfectly.

    This is an outstanding place to eat, spend time with friends and enjoy your meal. You will not feel rushed, the food is filling and delicious, and the staff is friendly yet professional. (Especially Nick). The menu is varied, from different pastas to fish and meat. The Paella is not to be missed. The Lobster Ravioli comes topped with shrimp and scallops. I asked for just the shrimp and they had no problem substituting the scallops for shrimp. Salads and portions are good sizes but save room for dessert because it’s awesome. We always share the Tartufo Gelato, soooo good! Everything is high quality and cooked so well. Owners are also friendly and stop by to check on you. Our favorite place to bring family and friends.

    We had an excellent time dining with close friends. I must say everything was very delicious. Our drinks were perfect as was our server Ilene. All plates were clean. Dessert was excellent. Wouldn’t change a thing.

    We dined here Saturday night we were a group of 5 and made a reservation .. we previously dined here and loved it, and it was going to start being one of our favorite and most frequent restaurants but this time we were very disappointed ..upon arrival we were seated right away.. not in the main dining room as were were seated previously…we were seated to the left of the reception area.. there was only one table occupied at this time, It was a family dining with two small children shortly after that they set another family with two small children.. our dining experience was continually interrupted by crying and screaming children. It wasn’t a pleasant dining experience. I don’t know why we weren’t seated in the main dining room when there were several tables available when we came in. I think this was a poor choice decision on the manager, but we continued on with our meal and made the best of it, and our waitress was wonderful…in addition, the bar had a football game on which I think is a poor choice for a fine dining restaurant with outbursts.
