★★★★☆ 4.0 Mike Ackerman · Jan 2026

Cozy italian themes to go along with a good variety of food and drinks. They had many martinis to choose from. We had the carbonara and the ashley, both were worth the trip. The starters were plentiful, offering awesome buttery garlic rolls to start. Try the sautéed calamari, much lighter and more flavorful than fried. Staff were friendly and attentive. I would go back and recommend to any first timers. They have been around for a long time and seem to have a loyal following.

★★★★★ 5.0 Micka Lola · Oct 2025

What a cute gem of a place. The ambiance is cozy and intimate. The service is attentive & friendly. The menu is superb, I had the sausage and mushroom penne, light red sauce and the potion was enough to share, if you wanted to split a meal or have the chance to try 2 entrees with a friend. They have a great wine selection and on Wednesday they offer 10.00 off per bottle. This was my first time here, but I wouldn't say it was my last.

Came here for a birthday dinner with family. The staff was very accommodating at the start, and we were one of the first tables seated on a Friday night around 5:30pm. Appetizers were tasty and the drinks were good. As the restaurant began to fill up, we unfortunately saw less and less of our server. A couple was seated 30–40 minutes after us, placed their order after we did, yet they finished their meal, received their check, and left before we were served. Our server was often nowhere to be found. When our food finally arrived, there was an issue with my wife’s potatoes they were very undercooked. We had to flag down another server just to locate ours, and it took about 15 minutes to get the issue addressed. We had an infant with us and were hoping for a smoother, quicker experience at

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Candid Cat Reviewer · Feb 2026

We had 4:00 reservations yesterday and everything went smoothly from the start. The staff was very kind and attentive, and we were one of the first couples seated for the evening, which gave us a great table. Unfortunately, our experience with the food didn’t live up to expectations. I had previously attended a baby shower here and the food was excellent, so I was really looking forward to returning. This time, it just didn’t measure up. My husband ordered his steak medium, but it came out well done. The blue cheese crust was delicious, though, and definitely the highlight of his dish. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara and was surprised by the portion — it was extremely large, but lacking in balance. There were very few peas or pancetta, and the dish was quite oily with some curdling, al

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Manning · Sep 2025

My wife and I went for the first time for our 5 year Anniversary and it was excellent. The food was exceptional, the service was beyond great and we had a great time. Highly recommend you go there for Italian food next time you're in the area.
