    Delicious food and great service. Restaurant was very energetic. We did have a nearby guest who didn’t know how to moderate her voice and really needed to consider others around her. Otherwise, staff were fast, nice and food and drinks were great.

    We have eaten here numerous times and do enjoy the food and it’s close to us. I had done a review during g the summer so don’t want to repeat my praise’s as I do really enjoy this restaurant but I am still disappointed in the quality of the bread and dipping sauces that are offered are way to salty! If you’re going to advertise as quality Italian style restaurant the first thing we see and taste is the bread ! Your amazing food offerings need to be acompanied by good , crunchy, delicious pane !!some quality dipping oils would be great too!!
