Food is great and expensive. First floor is VERY noisy. Great place to go if you don’t mind splurging a bit.

It was very good quality, fresh, authentic Italian cuisine. All of the dishes were good, but nothing stood out as spectacular. The service was friendly - and while no one rushed us to finish, the pace was very fast and did not feel inviting in terms of relaxing to enjoy a longer meal.

Service and food were great. Handicap accessibility was greatly appreciated. Price points were reasonable. The oysters were huge. The pasta sugo was very good. Our server told us it was spicy but could be adjusted. The duck two ways was fantastic. They gave us pana cotta as we were celebrating the anniversary of our first date 40 yrs ago. Thanks
