We had a fantastic dinner here last night. Everyone enjoyed their meals (veal parm, veal picatta and seafood pasta dish) the sauces were excellent. We subbed vegetables for side pasta. Calamari app was the best we’ve ever had. Good value and great service. It was my son’s birthday and they presented him with a Happy Birthday dessert. Would love to return.
