We’ve been coming to this gem of a restaurant for years and enjoyed. Everyone at The Restaurant are so welcoming and professional. Their homemade warm mozzarella is divine. The homemade roasted peppers are excellent, we loved the chicken scarpiello and the special lobster dish over linguine. It’s such a nice place. We will be returning many times.
