    It is our favorite Italian restaurant. We have been going there since it opened and Bianca was there most nights. Noe her daughter is there most nights. The food is fresh and very tasty. The service is warm and helpful. The wine list offers good value wines. They have wine tasting events which are great fun and introduce new tasty wines with specially prepared food. I very much recommend this restaurant!

    It was our first time dining here and it was such an amazing experience! We had a cozy table outside on the patio and the food was excellent. The staff was warm and welcoming and we experienced a high level of hospitality from the moment we walked into the restaurant and were greeted by the hosts! The bartender, Eric, and our server, Matthew, really made the night special for us and the birthday we were celebrating!

    Picked this place for team holiday luncheon and it was a great choice. The restaurant was nice and quite to have good conversation. The food was very good. Not a big fan of Italian cuisine but I will come back. That’s how good it was. I had their lunch special, which some sea bass with crab stuffing. The price is also reasonable for a company event, around $70 per person. We did not have alcohol but did order appetizers and desserts to share.
