When choosing this location in 2005, we instantly fell in love with the charm and history that the building offered. Walking up the front steps you hear the creak of the original floor boards, and as you enter through the large Colonial doors you may find yourself twisting the old fashioned hand crank doorbell. Every detail of the building is historical, and every picture hanging on the wall gives you a glimpse of what life was like in the 1800’s.Along with our passion for keeping history alive, we also have an even greater passion for food. We only use the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients when crafting our dishes. Not only are we preserving the history of Liberty Corner, we are becoming part of the history too.Voted one of the Top 100 Al Fresco Dining Restaurants in the Country by OpenTable in 2015. Offering four separate dining rooms, you are sure to enjoy the atmosphere, along with your delicious meal. We look forward to being with you soon. We are a BYOB establishment.

    Ordered Branson special - slightly overdone, but large portion. Crab ravioli special was al dente and good. Calamari (sweet/spicy) was a healthy portion and very good. Caesar salad good but unremarkable - nice that since we were sharing an order they split it onto two small plates in the kitchen. Server very attentive.

    In from out of town and went for Christmas Eve dinner. Restaurant was exactly what I was hoping it would be, small family place with great service, friendly staff and delicious homemade Italian dishes. 10/10 will definitely make a point to come back next time I’m in the area.

    3 of the 4 of us made it to dinner, one being a guest from out of town. Dinner was good, service was great. Pasta w eggplant dish was bland, overly simple, nothing to speak of. The other two dishes were fish, and were good. For the 4th who couldn’t make it- got a pasta bolognaise to go as they were stuck at work. It was rigatoni with virtually no sauce on it. That was dry and terrible. So for the $250 for 4 meals, 2 not up to what we felt should have been better, the dinner was just ok. First time back there in months, and it wasn’t the same at all.
