Excellent place. One efficient and comfortable room with a six seat bar.The servers and staff work well as a team and are eager to please. The tuna appetizer was excellent as was the pear salad. both specials were tasty and good sized( the pork chop and the pappardel ), Pistachio Gelatto finished it off nicely
