Not a huge fan of American iced Italian food but this was outstanding. My wife said "nothing touched my mouth that wasn't... amazing!" It was a bit pricy but well worth it. Read more

The Bison Meatloaf Marsala was incredible. Tender, moist, full of flavor, and I'm still surprised I finished it. The plate was... huge! We've dined here many times, but this was my first time for this dish, and it's my new favorite. We started off with thepork belly appetizer, which was also fantastic. I forgot to include a picture with my initial review, but I had the same dishthis past weekend and made sure to snap a photo first. We had quite a long wait Saturday night, but, as always, it was worththe wait. Read more

Excellent meal.... again. I had the chicken marsala and my darling had the lasagne. Poptar was great! Creme Brule was good,... bread was delish. Read more

Great dinner! The best was the fresh app, a stack of tomato, eggplant, zucchini, topped with crab - super fresh. I had the... Elk strip medium rare, was very good. I did not care for the house Pinot Grigio, recommend ordering the wine by the glassinstead. My wife had a kale carbonara with Shrimp, was a large portion, got a togo box. We enjoyed the live piano music in thedining room, the band outside, and carrot cake for dessert. Highly recommend this local spot. Read more

We were so looking forward to a wonderful Italian restaurant experience and made reservations a couple weeks in advance.... Unfortunately that did not happen. It was extremely loud, with a speaker over our head blaring music and the table was rightnext to the kitchen and bathroom entrance. The hostess said we were better off staying where we were. Within 10 minutes thepiano bar (on the other side of our table) started up. Surely the hostess knew they were having live music that night. Thestuffed mushroom appetizer, which was lost for quite some time, was not stuffed mushrooms but a spinach mushroom casserole. Thewaiter said that some other places make it differently - just google stuffed mushrooms and you can see it is they that make itdifferently. It was $12 plus $5 extra for adding lump crab but we could only find 4 tiny pieces and not many mushrooms. $17 formostly spinach and cheese is just not right. We were also charged $46 for an entree that the menu indicated was $18-24. Later wediscovered we were also charged for a beverage that had not been delivered. I don't care to dine where you have to watcheverything closely, expect food to match the menu description, find a better seat yourself, and make sure you are being chargedcorrectly. I would rather be able to enjoy the food and relax. $120 not well spent for 2 people. We will not be back. Read more

This is a cute and quaint Italian restaurant that use food from their farm and locally sourced fresh ingredients. They have the... typical Italian items on the menu with other more unique items such as wild game. We were quickly seated and started off withBen dip which is similar to a spinach artichoke dip. It was hot and creamy and came with a nice basket of custinis. The nextapps were the meatballs which were very good sized and had good flavor and the pork belly. The egg plant caprese was ourfavorite appetizer. At some point some hot rolls with a ramekin of roasted garlic was brought out and those were delicious. The eggplant had a nice crispy crust topped with mozzarella cheese, basil pesto and balsamic reduction. The main dishes were the1 lb lasagna and a made to order mushroom, shrimp and pasta dish. All of the food was fresh and delicious. They had live musicwhich was okay, we could do without it. Our server was very attentive and I noticed that all the employees help each other out. We ordered several courses of food and it all came out in a timely manner. Make sure to save room for dessert, the Tiramisu isAMAZING! Read more
