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

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.

Ambience and service enjoyable. Nice to see a variety of dishes on the menu. Note to chef, except for the salads, appetizers and main dishes were too salty. Please lighten up on the salt. Healthy diets minimize salt intake.
