    At first the music was too loud but asked to have it turned down and they did. The bread, olive oil and grated cheese on the table was fresh and delicious. The food was delicious. Our waters were refilled when needed. Most of us took 1/2 our food home as portions were large. Two of us had the chicken limone and 3 of us had the rolled pasta Francesca. Will definitely go back soon.

    We shared the salad all a Francesca which was enough for the 3 of us. It was delicious. The salmon and white fish had a nice presentation and tasted great. We really enjoyed the evening and will be back.

    I've been here once before and really enjoyed. This time was no different; not only was the food absolutely delicious (I had the shrimp scampi), but the team went above and beyond to help me surprise my husband with a beautiful and very yummy dessert for our special celebration.

    The evening special of Eggplant Parmigiana was outstanding. Cooked to perfection with a very well balanced side of pasta. Desserts were great.

    This is a perfect place to get together with good friends for conversation, great food and attentive service. As ‘hosts’ to a group of ten, we arrived 15 minutes early, finding a table beautifully set up, ready to go. It only got better from there! We've been here before and we will happily be here again!

    Great lunchtime experience. Nice service, good food. A little pricy but you get what you pay for.
