    The food was really good and the service excellent! The only issue I had was that the Chicken Piccata is ONLY chicken. Noodles are extra and no capers. It is not what I call traditional chicken piccata. The artichoke and eggplant parmigiana is excellent!!!!

    I visited for lunch to celebrate 1) St. Cecilia’s feast day in the Catholic Church and 2) the publication of my first book. I noted these in the comments of my reservation and they added “Congratulations” to my paper menu! It was a lovely touch. The server suggested champagne and made a few food recommendations, which were delicious! Great experience!
