The food was great, fresh ingredients. My tomato risotto was awesome 👌
Very few vegetarian dishes, & if you're avoiding pasta or pizza (which are good here) the risotto is the only one left

My husband & I were anticipating a lovely dinner here while on vacation. Considering the reviews, we were expecting a much better experience than we had. Food was ok but disappointing. My drink & the lady sitting behind me had been mixed up. Her husband flagged down our server to fix the error. To us, it wasn't a big deal, but just a simple oversight easily corrected. My husband's filet mignon was not cooked the way he requested & his plate was missing the mashed potatoes that were supposed to come with his meal. The port wine & mushroom veal scallops that I ordered were tender & flavorful, but the pasta that came with it was inedible. My husband tried it & also found it tasted really off. Our server never came back once to check on us after our food was dropped off & sent another server to give us the bill. To top it off, my husband was charged $61 for his filet mignon which was $10 more than what was on the menu at $51. We didn't bother arguing the bill telling ourselves it wasn't worth it. We were on vacation & just wanted to move on & enjoy the rest of it.

Live music, delicious pasta & pizza, & a comfortable atmosphere! The server Steven was super friendly & helped us with the menu to let us know what would best suit our table! Fettucine Alfredo was the best! Go for the large size the small is super tiny! Everything was amazing!

The food was 100% delicious. My salad was great. It's a combination of two types of ducks on top the greens. The dressing & duck complement each other. My husband's pasta dish had giant shrimps that made me drool. The restaurant has a wine cellar in the basement, but I didn't see wine on the menu, so we didn't try any. Our waitress was also very attentive. Happy with the service.

We had a pizza & salad. The salad was as good as always. The pizza was good. The cannoli was disappointing. Despite the nice flavor (the chef replaced chocolate chip with orange confit) & wonderful shell, those cannolis were not filled.

Made a reservation but arrived early & they were able to seat us. We ate inside, which given the weather was fine. But outside would be lovely. The TV had the World Cup on, but it did not lead to a loud experience. We did have a cold down vent right over our table but perhaps it shut off, as I didn't notice it after a while. My husband was very happy with the beer selection. They had an extensive by-the-glass wine list & even more from which to choose if you wanted a whole bottle. We shared a burrata, which was excellent. Just the right amount of pesto & basalmic & a couple other tiny bits of sauces that were also good. My husband had veal & I had a goat cheese-stuffed pasta dish-a small serving, which after the burrata was the perfect size. We had planned on beaver tails for dessert elsewhere, so didn't try that here. Our waitress was wonderful. Friendly & attentive & very patient with my attempts to practice my French.

We had such a wonderful meal, the fresh home made pasta dishes were amazing, the ambience & vibe were very uplifting. Staff obviously enjoy working here. We came on a Friday night & it was a happy, fun experience.
