• Atmosphere and service are good.
• We didn't like the food and prices were too high.

“The place is ok, but not a good value. We had two specials: veal and pasta with fruity did mare, both had too much salt. Also, the menu did not have prices for specials, they were about $25 each, with a glass of wine and a bottle of water the bill was about $70.”

• Always a great meal!
• Tight seating when crowded.

“At this location, seating is limited but once you experience how great it is you will return again and again. We have been going since it opened its doors and never had a bad meal or service.”

• Food and atmosphere.
• Patrons who are in the wrong place; management who let it happen.

“Our dinner was good although service was spotty. The wait staff seem confused about what to do. However the men drinking at the bar were foul-mouthed. They were over served and cursed loudly throughout the dinner. The manager and bartender ignored the situation, although other couples seated at tables in the bar area were upset by the language too. We had a twelve year niece with us and she objected to them.”

• Great food, amazing sauces.
• Our two person table was small but we did order 3 appetizers which took up a lot of space...

“My husband and I went here last night 3/16/07 and we were very impressed. The shrimp Italian appetizer was to die for with artichoke hearts. We also had the grilled calamari and asparagus salad which were both very good! My husband had the maxi which was covered in mushrooms, thin slices of red pepper and a touch of red onion slivers all in this amazing sauce. The sauces the chef uses seem to be light but might have just a touch of cream to them. I had a special which was awesome. The marshal filet which was smothered in mushrooms and a light brown marshal sauce that was the best I have ever had. It also came with 4 large roasted potato wedges and steamed broccoli. We went a little over board on ordering because I¿m pregnant and had to take half of our dinner¿s home. Very warm atmosphere with lots of dark wood.”

• I've never had a bad meal regardless of the item selected.
• When crowded, it gets a bit loud.

“Food is outstanding with very friendly yet professional service. Dinner for two including a bottle of wine is about $70, closer to $90 with an appetizer. My favorite restaurant and one of the few Italian restaurants I frequent.



There is not a formal dress code but most patrons are in business or business casual attire. Children are welcome but should be well behaved. White table cloths with a paper cover detract a bit from the elegance. It is open ceiling in the loft style which does tend to get a bit loud when crowded. Very nice outside eating area for nicer weather. Insect lamps and torches keep pests to a minimum.”
