    We had a great time today. Everyone worked as a team to make our experience great - from the hostess to the wait staff (several waitresses teamed up to take care of us) - and the food was great. I hadn't been there in awhile...but we'll come back soon.

    Took 8 year old granddaughter for a Christmas date. Staff was kind and informative about menu. Food was delicious with huge portions. We got fried cheese raviolis, chicken parm and veal parm. Wedge salad was also excellent. Looking forward to going back soon.
