Nice venue for events and dinner in a classy upscale feel ambiance; service was excellent and owner tailored menu for an event in the side room and greeted guests; valet parking; would recommend the eggplant melanzane & chicken Marsala (phenomenal); pasta with vodka sauce tasted/felt more like sauce from a jar but was okay; 2 stalls in ladies’ bathroom and each had a chair in them

Came here for the first time tonight for dinner with a party of four, they offer valet parking which was great. When we got inside we we’re greeted right away by the host and seated,the dinner was amazing, our waiter knew all of the specials and always kept our drinks fresh, the owner is very friendly and courteous and checked on us several times, we ordered several appetizers and four main courses, all of the food was delicious and fresh. We ordered the blue point oysters, new zland mussels and fried calamari for appitizers all were delicious. The staff was very friendly and courteous. Prices are very responsible. We had the pleasure of meeting the chef who was very nice as well as the owner and his wife.Will definitely be back.

Sitting here right now i was hoping the food would live up to the reviews. Sadly i am so disappointed the food is below par. I could have cooked better. I feel like a starter crew made this. I dont know what went wrong. The pictures speaker for themselves. I honestly dont know what happened because this is not the quality i expected. The only thing is their own seltzer. I do not recommend here. The prices aren’t accurate because i was charged two dollars more for cake then posted. I was charged for table water as well. Ive been around reviewing restaurants for awhile i know a good one when i see one. A little rude however the server checked to see if the money was in the while it was on the table. Next time take the money holder with you then do it.

I'm very sorry I forgot the name of our waitress. She was wonderful. She also was very helpful in helping us decide what we wanted. Which I very much live when someone who knows the menu very well. Thank for a great time

From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us like old friends and walked us right to our table — I instantly had a good feeling, and I was right. Our server was awesome — super friendly, knew the menu inside out, and was on top of everything all night. The menu is classic Italian but with a twist — way more interesting than your standard North Jersey Italian spot. The ossobuco was fantastic (if I had to nitpick, I’d say the risotto could’ve used a touch less water and a heavier hand with the parm). The clams were fresh and baked to perfection, and my son devoured his ravioli. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely unreal — honestly worth the trip alone. Safe to say we’ll be regulars!
