    Good quality Italian food. It has never been cheap however with the impact of inflation on every restaurant they are now reasonably priced also. My wife and I put down 4 Compari Tonics, the house antipasto platter and two pasta entrees with no room left for dessert. $164.before tip.

    Literally the best meal I have ever had. It can be fancy enough for date night, but is casual enough to pop in with a t-shirt on. Service is phenomenal, stops by managers/owners/chefs--I can't say enough. Go....soon!
