    Our reserved table for 6 was available up on arrival. Valet parking was very helpful and convenient especially since we had my 84 year old Dad in our dinner party. (Valet is no charge, just tip them!) Service levels were excellent. Food was superb - the pasta is made on site. Booth we sat in held all six of us comfortably. Dessert was delicious. Highly recommend!
