    REALLY GREAT FOOD! Service was prompt and delightful. Almost don't want to share so I can keep this place my secret, but it is too good not to share! Go enjoy!

    This is our go-to restaurant before shows. The food is consistently excellent, and the service and atmosphere congenial. We love the place.

    Food was subpar, along with the service. Have had better food elsewhere and for the price of the specials not worth it.

    Was able to get a last minute reservation for a large group on a Saturday night and we had a wonderful experience. The food was spectacular and the service was great despite being so busy. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

    Had a group of 5 and we all ordered something different and we all loved it!!! I do wish the menu was more clear on what chickens come with pasta and which don’t (chicken Marsala comes with potatoes fyi, which makes sense but would’ve liked to see that written down or been notified). I will say the cannolis are delicious but a scam. $11 for an unfilled cannoli

    Lovely neighborhood place - pleasant- not too noisy - the quality of the food was good- my only complaint was too much rich sauce on everything.
