    We went for our usual - grilled calamari and the farfalle with spinach and white beans. It never disappoints. We added a special of crostini with pistachio pesto, mortadella and burrata which was delicious. The service was perfect as always!

    Always starts with Tom, th owner who is second to none!! We are always treated to the very best service anywhere!! My grandmother, who is 107++ , is always taken care of like a rock star and this evening was no exception. Extra padding for her seat, a special window table and a chance to celebrate her 107& 1/2 birthday!! This is an exemplary study in the best of the best. Thank you, thank you, Tom, Kyle and team for the graces you show us!! Forever grateful!! Lisa and family

    Food was wonderful as was the service. Atmosphere was nice. It seemed like the owner knew the table next to us so we felt slightly neglected, since our waiter was catering to that the table more. But still a nice experience. I had clams with spicy red sauce. I thought the spice was too mild, but the server immediately remodeled it by bringing slicer sauce and let me know that I should request extra spicy in the future. My partners dish was delicious. Meat Beaujolais spaghetti. The tiramisu was perfect. And the octopus eggplant appetizer was one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had.

    We’re glad we dined in. It was inviting, cozy and warm. We saw a lot of familiar faces as it’s been a while. It’s always good and the service was really great! We can’t wait to come back in!!
