It's a lovely place and one of the few Italian restaurants that looks like it actually might be in Italy. There's a large covered outside area and I would recommend sitting out there if the weather is nice. Crowd is generally on the older side. The wine list is pretty good. The menu isn't huge but there's lots of good things on there. I had the salad and calamari app and both were good. I had the chicken parm with eggplant and enjoyed it. Everyone was happy with their dinner so that was good. Service was efficient and prices fair considering quality, quantity and location. If you're looking for a nice Italian place in the area that's not too expense this is a good choice

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.
