Service was good. Nice vibe. Weird background music playlist through a pretty bad sounding speaker though. Antipasto and salads were impressive, but both entrees were way too salty. It's a shame because I could tell it was a complex sauce, and nice presentation.

Wonderful Italian cuisine in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Service was great with the owner taking our order and spending a few minutes with us after we were done. This restaurant is a hidden gem. Small bar and indoor seating area with two great outdoor patios where you can also dine. We can't wait to go back again!

Drove by this place a few years back but never managed to get in until last Friday. Absolutely wonderful people and even better food (Veal Saltimboca highly recommended!) Best cappuccino I've had in America too--went great with tiramisu. Sit by the waterfall outside if available. Will definitely be back again.

Arrived with my party of 5 for confirmed reservation to find a sign on the door stating restaurant closed, will reopen 1/30. Had to scramble at the last minute to find another restaurant to take us before our concert. Should have been notified !

I used to go here and always loved. I tried this restaurant twice within a week last week and first time, they didn't even know I had resv and they only had 2 servers on a Saturday night and service was very very slow. Food is fantastic. Next I made resv for following Friday night and got there and stood at front with 10 other people for 15 min until the one gentleman working finally acknowledged everyone and said sorry some one didn't show up so if you want to wait you can but will be a while. Having resv clearly didn't matter anyway. We left. Its so sad because its a great atmosphere and food is good but they cant seem to keep reliable wait staff.
