    We went for a lunch date. The restaurant was bumping with over an hour wait if you didn’t have a reservation (thankfully we did). We were celebrating our anniversary and were surprised with a complimentary Prosecco and dessert. We thought the food was great. Tried the Caesar salad, rigatoni, ricotta dumplings and the soppressata pizza. The portions were just right for a single person as an entree but were nice to share as well. We ended up taking a bit of everything home with us. Overall, we thought we would visit again if given the opportunity.

    Wonderful dinner with family. Excellent staff. It was a busy night so a lotta hustle and bustle, but overall able to carry on a reasonable conversation without too much background noise. The food was amazing as well.

    The only part that wasn't great was being seated at one of the two tables directly across from the entrance on a very cold night. Everything was perfect other than that 1 small thing.
