    We had a group of 20 tonight and the staff and food was fabulous. We had entrees from meatloaf, to salads, fried chicken, chicken and waffles, chicken sandwiches… all of it was perfectly seasoned, juicy and you can believe if we couldn’t finish what was on our plate we took it with us!

    Experience was outstanding overall. It was Valentine's Day so the place was PACKED. Therfore the staff were a bit swamped and the place was a tad louder than it normally would be, but the staff were doing terrific with the crowd they had and the noise was still good compared to what it could be. Would highly recommend!!!

    We definitely have a new favorite Italian place! As hard as it is for me to say this, hands down better than any place around the Hampton Roads area - yes better than that place, and yes that place too. The best. Every course was a standout, well prepared, perfectly seasoned, served with care, and flavor authentic as it comes. I lived in Italy for 7 years and this is the first place that truly took me back. Small place so reservations are needed but it will not disappoint. My take best takeaway, our server was so confident in our meal she said she would pay for it if it was not the best. We paid for our meal, and I appreciate that level or confidence. Amazing.

    Our waitress Haley was a delight. On the ball and attentive. Food was tasty and the beverages were excellent. The noise level is very distracting and makes it difficult to chat at the table.
