1st visit - Weekend afternoon. Seated immediately but, place was relatively occupied considering it was right after opening time. Customers continued to come in, so, I definitely recommend making a reservation. Very welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Aside from the reg menu, they also have daily specials. We ordered: Stuffed Shell Duo House Lasagna Honey Garlic Chicken Wings (1 of the day's special) Stuffed Shell Duo was great. 2 types of sauces and filling that eating it was getting a great bite every time as versus having to eat that portion serving with just 1 type of sauce and filling. One sweet and one savory. The lasagna was a winner as well. Very big portion that it could be shared. The chicken was just ok. (Sorry...) Great service, however, our order took a little while, but, could be because we came during Happy Hour but ordered main entrees from the reg menu. Still, we highly recommend this spot and we will be back.

We must of dined here on an off night. We had reservations and were sat at a cute table upstairs with a nice view. We waited 15 minutes or so for menus and water. After ordering we sat with our wine and bread for an hour and fifteen minutes before being delivered ice cold entrees. One of them looked like it had been dropped or as if someone had already eaten off of it. The shells and sauce entree was missing a shell (itâs 4 large shells) and the sauce was slopped around. There was a big piece of cold congealed cheese spread across half the plate. The photo posted is exactly what was set on the table. We didnât have time to wait for a remake and they did comp is that entree. I wasnât impressed with the cold bolognese either. It reminded me of hamburger helper. Really disappointed in the service and the food.

A cozy little hidden Italian gem! Great selection of well crafted Italian dishes. Itâs loud and you feel like it is a happening. The service was swift and the food hot. I loved the HUMONGOUS sized Chicken Parmigiana and my wife had the Carbonara. Skip the salad and save room for dessert. Highly recommended if you are looking for a great Italian meal.
