We had a great dining experience. Service was excellent. Tried the soup special which was outstanding. Our appetizer and entree was also very good. No room for dessert. Next time.

Dated, mediocre food, dirty floors (shoes stuck under the table). Wait staff was very friendly but service took very long for food. It was a holiday but there were empty tables so it couldn't be volume of diners. Would not recommend

We had a most enjoyable dinner experience. Selvin our server was very proficient and helpful with our questions about the menu. The butternut squash, Nonna’s lasagna and the rigatoni bolognese were excellent. It was nice and quiet for our early dinner which was welcome. We will definitely be back!
