Looking for some good authentic Italian while I was in town for business. Luckily, some great reviews pointed me in the right direction. It was easy to find but parking can be a little difficult. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. They took us right...Read More

Driving up, we were skeptical since it’s an industrial zone. We didn’t know there was a parking lot across the street from the restaurant so we parked in a neighborhood. Walking into the restaurant, I was amazed at the beautiful interior in the back. I...Read More

Visited the restaurant for dinner on a Friday, we were seated immediately. Tried the gnocchi pesto, arancini and tiramisu. All of them were delicious. Luciana helped us with suggestions and hosted us really well.

The service here alone made this place worth it. Felt seen, heard, and received constant check-ins and recommendations. The food we ordered (lasagna and fettuccine w/chicken) came within about 10 minutes of ordering and was delicious. Well sized portions. Plenty of options even for picky...Read More

Went there on Fathers Day. Every one greeted us cheerfully and wished me and my son in law . Food was fresh and refreshing. Service was great. These days we rarely see good service and good food together. Will definitely go again.
