    We luckily picked a slow time, 6:00 PM on Wednesday. Service was prompt and courteous. Everything came on time and as requested. My chicken Milanese was done to perfection. The garlic bread was fresh and just toasted. My wife’s gnocchi with mushrooms was incredible. My picky teenage daughter ate every bit of her spaghetti and even the meatballs. Our guest ate all his spaghetti and chicken. Everything was made from scratch; nothing tasted premade.

    Ordered three dips, kale salad and the veggie shindig. More than enough for three people and all was delicious. It was a Monday night, so the bar was mostly empty and not all tables full, but it had a very nice ambiance. Booth seats are padded, the nice music was in the background, so there was muted quality…not loud, which made for a very pleasant experience. No shouting to you dinner companions in order to be heard.

    We greatly appreciated the consideration of the staff. The walk to our table for two, both of us elderly and using canes, was difficult. The young host was apologetic and, unbidden, took the price of our soft drinks off the bill. We waited a bit long for our meals, but to be fair, it appeared that many dinners arrived at once. The food, a smash burger, and the salmon en croute, was very good.
