I took my mom here and we had a great time The staff are so kind and friendly and the food was incredible. We had the hummus dip appetizer and couldn't get enough of it and we both had the chicken salad with the ginger dressing!!! Our waitress also suprised us with a free dessert and wrote merry Christmas in raspberry puree on the plate. It was perfection!!

Great food! I would recommend going with a group and do share a bunch of things on the menu! Everything came out really good. Although their wine prices are a bit more expensive than other Italian restaurants I’ve been too. Over all worth the visit and I’ll definitely come back for more!

4th visit this year. All student run. The service is a little tentative, so be nice to your servers and draw them out. The food is terrific. And the value for money outstanding.
