My husband and I visited on a Tuesday night at 6:30 and there only 2 other couples dining there. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. We bought wine from the liquor store and they poured it for us. The server was very friendly. We ordered the mussels with red sauce which the server told us could be modified to be spicy. The complimentary bread was toasty and the butter was so creamy and delicious. The mussels were excellent. We were slurping the sauce, that's how good it was. My husband ordered the special filet mignon. We didn't care for the carrots or squash that came with it but the mushrooms and potatoes were good. I ordered the chicken parmigiana with pasta. I loved the melty cheese and the portion was generous. We would love to come back to try other menu items.

Such a wonderful, personal experience! We came in around 4:30 and there was no wait, however by the time we left the restaurant was full so I would suggest getting a reservation if you don’t plan to eat early. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable. Leo had our table and he was amazing, knowledgeable, and so friendly. The restaurant was Bring Your Own Bottle, but luckily there is a liquor store practically next door. The food was flavourful and cooked to perfection. The cheesecake and cappuccino are both must haves!

Went for a post Christening lunch, it was our first time there and this was a lovely restaurant. The atmosphere is charming, the food was delicious, (I would highly recommend the Chicken Eggplant) the service was and as a byob you have a choice to bring your favorite type of beverage. We will be going back.

This place accepted my Seamless order and tried to make me pay twice after making me wait 20 minutes while they prepared a fresh chicken parm after they said they didn’t receive my order. I showed them the order number (where I tipped 15% for a pickup order), the receipt, and the charge from my bank (all attached) and they still denied me the food. Instead of taking the order number and dealing with Seamless as the merchant, they made me have to sit on the phone with Seamless for 30 minutes to get the order cancelled. Not how you should treat a patient and honest customer when the place is empty. Never again.

The meal was excellent. They have good flavor compared to other tasteless restaurants. The service is perfect, they treat you like king. the atmosphere is calm without loud music. Highly Reccomend it NOTE: You can bring your own bottle
