    Outstanding service, food to die for! I had the Terra-mare, and my wife had the pappardelle, both were delicious! The staff made us feel right at home. This is our second visit to this cozy, homey place, and we hope to keep coming back!

    Just wanted to commend the waiter for our table on Valentine's Day. My wife has seafood allergies, and the waiter ensured that he instructed her of food that were not entangled with seafood per her allergies. Excellent service and always checked on us regularly. Great service by our waiter named Jimmy.

    I started with the seasonal salad, with crispy shallots on top, added both crunchy texture and a delicious accent. Accompanied by the cast iron cornbread with herbed butter, well an explosion of flavor that I savored!

    This was an Amazing experience!! It started snowing today - didn’t know for sure how much would stick. It turned out to be 4 inches. ;) We had a reservation and were the only guests. They stayed open for us and were so gracious! No one hurried us, in fact they took time to chat about several things. Even though they were closing as soon as we left! The food was very delicious - all the things we ordered. We live 2 blocks away and will share this with many people for exceptional service and food! 💞
