    Solid Italian food and casual ambiance. The Pin Wheel Cheese Parpadelle was amazing and I highly recommend if you have the chance to eat here. Service was friendly and efficient. I look forward to returning soon!

    The branzino is outstanding. We also enjoyed the Zabaglione - a dessert that not many places make. It was fabulous.

    The entree was very good. It was one of the specials last night. It was a veal dish served over spinach but my husband and I changed it to chicken. I was a bit surprised that there were no potatoes or other “starch” with it. For dessert we shared the apple strudel which was delicious! The service was attentive. Overall, excellent meal!

    As usual, the food quality was first rate and the service was superb. It is a joy to experience a restaurant staff that places customer care first and that upholds the time-honored traditions of the Italian restaurant experience.
