From the outside the place looks like any other diner, but when you walk inside your transported to a quant Italian bar, we where seated by an older gentlemen who I am guessing is the owner, very nice man. We are seated at the booth next to the bar and had the bar tender as our server, in most cases I hate this due to the busyness of the bartender during rush dinner service, but even though he was busy he gave us the perfect about of attention and service. Thank you for an amazing dinner for my wife and mines 20th wedding anniversary.
