As always, an excellent experience today. Ariana was our food server and was friendly and helpful. However, what stands out is that the new manager, John,, stopped by and chatted with us for a while. Of course he was interested in how it was going for us and shared a little more of his background what brought him there. Up shot … folks are paying attention there. Coupled with the excellent food, it made for a nice outing.

Our server was very friendly and did an awesome job. The weird part of our experience was that someone had the same name, number of guests, and reservation time as us so there was some confusion. It was our table but someone from the other party almost took our table. Luckily our whole party was there and not the other group.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I was pleasantly surprised they now have house-made pasta, prepared perfectly Al dente too. Squid ink pasta and short rib pasta are the go-to’s. Prior experience with their bolognese made me not want to come back because it’s really hard to mess up bolognese. I think you just have to know what to order. Italian chopped salad also another great one to try.
