    Overall, this was an acceptable restaurant. When we arrived we asked for a quiet table and we were escorted into a large room with no one in it. The service and food were good. As the room filled, there were 2 very large tables that were filled with people celebrating birthdays. The noise level was so high we couldn’t hear each other. When we asked the main waiter to ask if he could ask them to bring the noise down a bit, he said he would. When I looked to see where the waiter was, I sat him having a “shot” with one of the groups. We finally had to leave.

    Really nice restaurant , great food . The pasta was very fresh ! good service. Frank our waiter was great attentive great suggestions.  Prices were not exorbitant, but a little high, especially the wine list. Only real complaint issue or issues. Was the kids screaming at the table next to us, but that’s not the restaurant fault and the $16 facility charge on the bill which really annoys me .

    Great atmosphere! There is a beautiful seating area in the back that offers natural lighting from an open skylight roof. This is blended with a gorgeous brick lined room filled with plants, trees and twinkling lights. All of these details combined brings a homey feel that makes you feel like you are sitting on a patio in Italy.

    It was great. The marinara sauce was not as tasty as I’ve had before.
