    The food was delicious and the ambience was nice and quiet. My 13 year old enjoyed his pizza and I enjoyed some pasta. I would give it 5 stars but the waiter was a bit snobbish. Aside from that the place was a great place.

    The food was absolutely decadent and very authentic Italian. Our drinks were crafted perfectly and the wine list did not disappoint! Our favorites were the lasagna and the carbonara. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was great. It was a little dark in the restaurant after the sun went down but it would be perfect for a romantic setting. Overall we were very pleased and left gushing over full bellies!

    Despite the restaurant being quite loud and very dark, the ambience is nice. Food was okay-some dishes better than others. Chicken Parm was recommended by the server and it was disappointing. Service was very slow. When making the reservation on OpenTable, we noted that we were interested in vegan /dairy free options. This was reiterated when the reservation was confirmed via phone and we were told they had it covered. Turns out, the only thing they had to offer was to point out if something wasn’t vegan. This wasn’t particularly helpful as the food descriptions made it obvious. It was a bit surprising that the chef was unable to pull something together and the only option was an arugula salad. Makes you wonder what is really being prepared in house.
