    Food was just okay. And for the high prices, the food should have been so much better. Pasta came out cold and was sent back. The veal parmigiana was fair at best. My wife’s pasta dish was not good at all. Won’t be going back.

    Great old school Italian. Great food, great service. All good but loved the hot garlic bread and the minestrone soup. Great large cocktails. My husband loved his escargot Italian and veal chop milanese. No room for desert.

    Delicious food prepared with care to every detail and served beautifully by an attentive and gracious staff. An exceptional meal that reminds one of the pleasure dining with friends, pleasant conversation and culinary excellence. An experience to be remembered and savored. It is an immersive experience and a lovely way to enjoy a meal with good friends and family.

    Good food but little on pricey side. Try to rush you out when they are busy.

    Was there with friends to celebrate 47th anniversary. Noted special occasion on Open Table…. no acknowledgement was given to us. Very disappointed. Also felt rushed by server. Ordered drinks & once delivered, server took food order. Salads came before finished cocktails.
