Wow. What can I say. We went here with a group for a party. The waiter, Sergio, was so nice and prompt. The food was so delicious and tasted better than Italian food in Italy. The chef - Francesco personally came and introduced himself -
We felt right at home. Great atmosphere and vibe. Can't wait to come back for a date night with my wife and try some of the other delicious food !

Pros:
Pleasant staff
Pretty bar area
Decent portion size (food only - see below)
Cons:
PRICE!! This especially applies to the drinks. $13 minimum for a half filled glass of wine? Cmon
Food was "ok" - the food was decent. Nothing
great. Chicken piccata was very salty. Nothing to justify the $30 price tag. Chicken parm was good. If the prices were more similar to a normal decent Italian place, I would go back and recommend. As it stands now, I don't recommend.

Food was ok. The service left something to be desired. Parking lot is very small and fills up quickly. The price is the deal breaker for me.

We just ate there and was very happy. Outside was open, with many heaters but we chose to eat inside. Service was excellent. My wife has some food allergies and they were so accommodating. The food was delicious. It wasn't very crowded, but it was a Monday night. We will definitely be back.
