    The food was all exceptionally good. Unfortunately, they were very under staffed and that showed in the poor service. I’d still recommend the place. Just hope everyone shows up for work!!

    Great experience with a lovely ambiance. The food surpassed out expectations . We started with The provolone fondue and pretzel bread. 5 stars. I had the Korean skirt steak. An abundance of flavors with a slight kick. My husband had the Bolognese. I felt that is was a bit on the sweeter side but my husband said it was perfect. For dessert, we have the Key Lime Crème Brûlée. It was real good but the tart was a bit too much for me to finish.

    We had a great experience and a lovely dinner. Very busy time for Little Italy the Friday night after Christmas but the staff handled the customers with charm! Our dinners were delicious and served at the perfect temperature. Chicken Marsala had a wonder creamy sauce and the spicy Campanelle Sausage dish was perfection! We sat outside under a great heater and enjoyed the passerby's and the excitement of the street.
