We were seated promptly. Our waitress Jenni was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Food was really good. I feel like the calamari has actually gotten bigger lately. Everything was great.

Jason gave us excellent service. Prices are reasonable, and food choices were great for an Italian restaurant. Food was brought hot and promptly. We had the spinach artichoke dip, which was delicious, and both of us had a Lasagna, and it was yummy.
