This Italian restaurant is a must-visit! The osso buco is tender and flavorful, served with a rich wine that elevates the dish. The bruschetta is fresh and delicious . A perfect start to a fantastic meal! Highly recommend!

Something’s terribly wrong here. Appetizers delivered after an hour wait, another hour and a half for the entrees. And we weren’t the only table in that situation; some said they’d been waiting longer. When the food arrived, it was just okay; pasta dishes were undercooked (crunchy).

Meals were made to order, it took us,(party of two) over an hour to get our dishes and forever to get more bread. Our dishes were delicious but we were there for about two hours in total.
