    Alyssa was a great attentive server. Dinner was exceptional. The Parmesan crusted chicken and Italian sausage flat bread are great. The smores budino for dessert was the perfect size after being stuffed from dinner. I ordered a wine flight at the table and followed Alyssa’s suggestion. Great meal over all and the service puts it over the top. Never a bad experience here.

    We were there early (4 pm) and it was rather quiet. By the time we left at 6 it was full and a bit louder but still okay to have a conversation. This is my second time there and everything was delicious! Our table had the Greek lasagna, pasta primavera, chicken kabobs, sweet potato gnocchi, and sausage ravioli. Fresh beet appetizer is amazing. Chopped salad was delicious too. For dessert the limoncello cake was very good! Great service, delicious food. Reservations are a must unless you go in an off time or maybe during the week. Both times I’ve been there you would need a reservation.

    Really nice ambiance, if a party of 1 or 2 request a sofa seat. It's in a separate room and more quiet. The service was excellent, everything came incredibly fast. We shared the pepperoni flatbread, but the charcuterie board looked amazing. The gnocchi in vodka sauce was good, as were the mini cannolis. We went before a concert, but would go just for a meal, drinks and appetizers, or dessert. There is a cover charge if there is entertainment, but not if you go earlier.
