I've been here a number of times and the food is decent. I wouldn't call it outstanding. I probably…read morewon't be going back though. The prices are way too high. They've lost me as a customer. A small mista salad was $14.95. It was a "side" sized salad, not a dinner sized. A 10" cheese pizza was $18.95, and a simple plate of pasta was 24.95. The prices are similar to what one might pay in a major large city ( NYC, etc), not in the local area. A local comparable menu might have a similar size salad for $8, a 12" pizza for $14 and pasta for $14.

Then a mixed green salad with pears and blue cheese... old, dried lettuce and practically no dressing. Everyone said their meals were good. Not worth the trip.

My family took me here to celebrate my birthday, and it was a great choice for a special occasion…read more We went early evening, before the dinner rush. Although a few large parties were happening, it felt comfortably busy without being loud. Parking was easy with their lot. The décor is elegant, and the beautifully lit bottle display behind the bar really stands out. We sat in the main dining room and could easily hold a conversation. We started with the grilled polpo and ahi tuna tartare -- both excellent. I ordered the T-bone medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. The table also had filet mignon, mezzi rigatoni alla vodka with shrimp, and pappardelle bolognese. Sides of Brussels sprouts with bacon and balsamic-honey glaze and baked spinach au gratin complemented everything nicely. The chocolate soufflé was a sweet finish. Portions were satisfying without being overwhelming. Bathrooms were very clean, though the entryway floor was a bit slippery. Overall, I'd absolutely return and recommend it for a special night out.

The food was fair at best with the pappardelle pasta being mush and overcooked and with very little meat sauce. The outside seating area looks like a10 year old put it together.

The tortellini special was spectacular, the rigatoni with bolognese was the best we've ever had, and all of the pasta is handmade! The olives and grilled bread are an elite pairing for an appetizer. The portion sizes are perfect, you leave feeling very satisfied as they are not huge plates. We had the olive oil cake for dessert and it was just as it should be! We sat at the bar and received top notch service. Can't wait to visit again soon!

I appreciate the upkeep on water, but I'd like to have a bit of my time uninterrupted, as it seems my table is being turned for the next patron.
