"I enjoyed the dining experience very much. The appetizers were outstanding: watercress salad, mozzarella balls, and mushrooms stuffed with crab. We all ordered pasta entrees. The sauces were excellent. The homemade pasta was not intended to be al dente and it was not."

"People usually for a good cheap meal now a days go to fridays or applebees, but let me tell u , why go to a chain restaurant when u can go to a beautiful family owned one with a la cart food and fresh food for the same price and sometimes below. I go here for special occasions, romantic and casual nights out and best of all its a BYOB. Place is amazing."

"This place has a nice vibe and the service is excellent. If you're a fan of American Italian food you will probably like it here. If you're a foodie chances are you won't like the food here. I found the food very heavy and with one note. Portions are big, too big reallly. I would rather spend less (it was pricier than I expected) and eat less."

"Excellent food, attentive staff , nice romantic atmosphere.
Love the vodka sauce with penne and also love to order off the menu when I want to cut calories and fat. If you need a diet dish, ask for penne with wine sauce and no oil or butter, the chef will even add shrimp and broccolli to it if you want.
Portions are nice and big for sharing and this place has enough choices on the menu to make everyone happy. Steaks and specials are also good here, so have fun! This is also a nice date night place.
