    We drove by this restaurant and decided to try it. What a find!!! The food was exceptionally delicious - reminded us of Italy. The service was outstanding - genuine hospitality. The decor and woodwork was beautiful. We’d like to highly recommend! Inexpensive Parking is available in the movie theater parking garage across the street. Ciao!

    Oscar is the greatest server! He remembered me and my friend from the one time we went there last summer. The food was insanely good. We loved the truffle addition to the burrata. The pork shank and ossobuco were beyond delicious. We can’t wait to go back 👍
