    Menu offers the opportunity to enjoy a range of well prepared and presented dishes. Particularly enjoyed the Salumi e Formaggi appetizer which was plenty to share with the four of us. Service is outstanding - friendly, informative and allowed plenty of time to enjoy each course.

    Excellent all-around!! Short rib was so delicious, tender and moist. Canoli was so good. Chicken parm and chicken marsala were outstanding. The waiter was knowledgeable and helpful with great advice on the menu and wines. Probably would consider this a higher end, higher price place but not outrageously so. With appetizers, main, bottle of wine, and desserts it was approximately $70 per person plus tip….worth every penny!!!! Absolutely would go back in a heartbeat!

    The food choices were remarkable. Our table of 4 shared 2 different appetizers and each ordered a distinct entree. Every one of us scored the meal a strong 10. Drink offerings were amazing as well.
