    If you’re in the area and looking for some basic Italian this is a good place to consider. It’s the second time we have been here and both times the food and service did not disappoint. The seating is tight so probably not the best for large groups but otherwise would highly recommend it.

    Great food and service! Everyone was very accommodating. Host gave us a very nice table at the window, on a cold and rainy night. He knew the heaters were over there. Our server was wonderful. He suggested a very good wine and brought us a little taste of it first. Our entrées were delicious and cooked to perfection. This was our second time there and it will be our last
