    I have always enjoyed dining here. The service is excellent, and everyone is pleasant and efficient. Tonight they had a limited menu, and I had Lamb shank with Risotta, and it was not my favorite. Too much sauce/gravy. It needed a lighter wine sauce. Normally, I would prefer Linguini with Clams.

    Food was excellent from the faccachia to the appetizers (polenta, bruschetta) to the main courses (spaghetti & meatballs, eggplant Parmesan, and more) to the desert (tiramisu, chocolate cake). Gerard was a great waiter. Place was very busy and could be quite loud, but that is not the fault of the restaurant but of the patrons. Will definitely return, this is our Italian go to now.
