    At 5:45 there was one other table taken and 1 woman’s voice was so loud that we couldn’t hear ourselves speak and didn’t want to hear her personal issues and asked her to lower her voice.

    The food was absolutely delicious. It’s a cozy spot. Not too loud where you can enjoy a good meal and good conversation.

    Nice local restaurant with good service. It was packed on a Saturday night so get reservations. My wife and I both ordered veal entrees which were delicious. I don’t recommend the fried calamari as it was overcooked and very salty.
