Robert G.

We visit at least once a year and are always satisfied. The quality remains the same...great. The staff is very professional and always entertaining without being overly attentive. The meals are good quality, good sizes and a bit on the pricey side but worth it. My wife and I shared the lasagna and it easily fed both of us with leftovers.

If you like Italian food, go there. You will not be disappointed. Also, despite the fact that the place was packed when my group of 5 arrived, they seated us right away. Definitely recommend.

Popped in solo for a quick dinner and bellied up at the counter for some food and a show….lol. Always a killer meal, and this evening, Jennifer L was superb.
