Garlic knot is a classic, so good, salads are fresh and delicious and of course pasta is outstanding! Service was great, stuff was knowledgeable and friendly, ambience was lovely, you cannot wish for more on a chill Saturday night. Lovely experience, definitely will be back for more of that delicious food!
