    It was our first time at the restaurant. The food was very good but the ambience the place needs a lot of love and tender care very outdated. the entrance very uncomfortable and tight when you’re waiting they keep bringing food right between people. If you’re just going for the food, it’s wonderful because the food was good but not a romantic place or a place to get all dressed up to go out on the weekend. It needs a little love.

    Thank you for the review. We have finally got approval to build our bar and redo the entire restaurant. This will all be completed by wand of summer. Due it being Valentine’s Day it was very crowded with both floors being occupied this is not the norm and I due apologize. I am glad to here that you enjoyed the food and hopefully will see you soon best wishes Francesco’s

    Food was good and portions were ample. Wait staff was attentive and service good. Prices were reasonable. This was my first visit and I will certainly return. It is as good as and better than other Italian restaurants in the area.
