    The food was fantastic. Service was a little slow but not blaming out server. They seemed a little short-handed, and she did her best to keep up. Great value for the price and we will eat there again!

    One of my favorite restaurants! Food is excellent- especially the Pollo Milanese and the salad Francesca. Very attentive service - maybe a bit too much as several people wanted to clear plates when we were still slowly eating from them.

    Really nice ambiance, if a party of 1 or 2 request a sofa seat. It's in a separate room and more quiet. The service was excellent, everything came incredibly fast. We shared the pepperoni flatbread, but the charcuterie board looked amazing. The gnocchi in vodka sauce was good, as were the mini cannolis. We went before a concert, but would go just for a meal, drinks and appetizers, or dessert. There is a cover charge if there is entertainment, but not if you go earlier.
