    Vie was so good we were wondering how the change to Petite Vie would compare. Gotta say we were more than satisfied and now we are just as excited to go back! Food was phenomenal and so was the service. Always helps when you sit at the bar and Pat takes care of you too!!! They kept just enough of the old to make the new even better!

    Great spot; so glad we chose to dine here! From the bruschetta to the cannolis, everything was top notch! Highly recommend the Vesuvio entrée for garlic lovers. The Veal Parmesan, a classic choice, was crispy and tender. The ambiance was cozy, relaxed, and modern. Absolutely plan on returning to explore more of this delicious menu. 10/10

    Love the upscale pub decor. Som let us try a few wines before ordering a nice Vermentino and Barbera. Good Ceasar salad. The chicken was wonderful and large portion. The lobster Louie had tons of lobster. Veg Wellington was excellent. Nice job.
