My boyfriend and I went for a date night and had a wonderful time. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas, it was stunning!! I had the ricotta ravioli and my boyfriend had the armericano pizza, which we both pretty much devoured. We had the apple crumble for dessert, which was delicious. I had two Christmas themed cocktails. The service was great. The bussers were so quick to grab our dirty plates out of the way, and were friendly. Our server was also very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. I will definitely be returning!
