    A family owned restaurant that has things working to perfection. Delicious Italian food. Lively relaxed atmosphere. Tables are tight but we could hear each other with the place full. Excellent, friendly service and great value. We will be returning.

    Food and service were very good. But a $20.00 vodka sauce pasta dish keeps me from not coming more often. But good otherwise…

    We had a lovely dinner there with excellent food (the octopus was our favorite!) and the atmosphere was the cozy we needed for a date night in the col, icy winter.

    Initial service encounter was terrible. Food is delicious if you can look past sub-par experience. Booked in advanced for a family party of 5. We were celebrating and anniversary and birthday. Immediately upon entering we’re greeted with a very unfriendly man. This tore down the experience of enjoying the great environment and food. It was an uphill battle but food was filling, delicious and our tanker attendant tried to improve the initial experience. Thank you for attempting to improve experience but was absolutely too late.
