    Had a reservation and was seated immediately. Wait staff was extremely professional, kind and prompt. Manager (I’m assuming) stopped by to check on us. Good was excellent. It is a bit on the pricey side, but well worth it. Will definitely return on our next vacation

    My husband and I had an amazing Christmas Day dinner here! The special three-course meal was outstanding—each dish was beautifully prepared and full of authentic Italian flavors. The brussel sprout salad, bolognese, and beef short rib were absolute standouts! The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed. The warm, festive atmosphere made the experience even more special. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    Old school Italian restaurant with too many great choices. Our server (Rob) was attentive and a lot of fun. We ordered a salad, 2 main entrees and dessert for 6, plus 1 bottle of wine (Chianti) and that was enough food without any leftovers. Tried 2 new items - the Rigatoni country style and the Italian cheesecake - and they did not disappoint. Veal Parmigiana and Ceasar Salad (including anchovies on the side) were also very good.
