The service was great and the food was very good. My husband ordered the Penne pasta with sausage and enjoyed his meal. I ordered the linguine with shrimp and asparagus in a light cream sauce. It was not what I was expecting, and it was not light. It was tasty but too much for me. The lemon cake was light and so good! The only bummer is how jammed it is, I felt like I was having dinner with the family of four right next to us. And it was interesting that they brought their small dog in with them. We will go again and try other dishes!

DELICIOSO!!! This place is the real deal! Authentic Italian food that is full of flavor, made to order, and just down right amazing. We ordered the Short Rib Pasta special, the Quattro Stagioni Pizza and the Linguini Fantasia. Everything was PERFECTION!!! Cooked perfectly and so fresh. Their desserts are made from scratch, in-house daily and the menu varies. We sampled the Tiramisu and the Creme Brulee and both were delicious. The tiramisu was light and airy and some of the best that we have had in a long time. The Creme Brulee was just the right consistency with that satifying hard shell on top and creamy under belly. The restaurant is small but cozy and the wait staff was very attentive, genuine and so KIND. We stopped by on a Friday night, without a reservation but they made room for us and never made us feel bad for not calling ahead. Reservations are strongly encouraged due to the space and the fact that this restaurants reputation is well known. We sat next to some regulars who had been coming here for many years. They shared with us all their favorite dishes and we had a strong feeling they were not the only regulars in the restaurant. It seemed as if the staff knew just about everyone. Before we left, the hostess made it a point to come and speak with us. She made us feel so welcome and encouraged us to come back. We do not live local but our daughter, who was with us, does. The hostess made sure our daughter knew she would be remembered and that they couldn't wait for her to come back so they could take great care of her again. What a WONDERFUL place. You will not be disappointed and if you live local, I'm confident you'll become a regular too!
Vegetarian options: There is a good selection of appetizers, salads and entree's that are vegetarian.
