The food was excellent, service was amazing and great ambiance as well. It was our first time visit and we are vegetarian, our... server was kind enough to explain us all the vegetarian options available. Loved everything we ordered especially the chocolateMartini and Tiramisu was lip smacking, will surely visit next time! Read more

The food was top notch, the service was great. The pasta is the best I've ever had. We were all tasting each other's food... ????????. I promise to return with a table full of people. I can't stop talking about this restaurant. I understand now why theparking lot and restaurant is packed. I give it ten stars. Read more

The first time we came here, we were absolutely thrilled with the food. So tonight we came for our anniversary and oh. my.... gosh..... Okay let's talk about the number one reason you go to a restaurant: the food. I have never in my almost 29 years oflife had such good cheese pizza. Do you know how much cheese pizza ive had? A LOT. The pizza was like... it was like eatingpizza in 3D. It had so much depth of flavor that... I can't even explain. The cheese, the sauce, the dough... I'm stillobsessing over it.. My husband had a New York Strip steak which was cooked to medium rare perfection, and he cleaned his plate-but get this.... He liked my four cheese pizza better. And he doesn't. Like. Cheese. Pizza. WHAT IS IN THE PIZZA?! Ourwaitress, Leanne, was personable, extremely efficient, and genuinely kind! And at 8p.m on a Friday, the place was booked. Butshe kept up like crazy and.... did I mention she was the one that recommended the four cheese pizza?! Honestly, I was and am soeuphoric tonight that I was trying to STOP smiling so much because I thought people were going to think I was insane. Like...I'm never eating cheese pizza anywhere else ever again. Side note: we never said it was our anniversary or anything- but it wasas if we had- and the staff was going out of their way to make it special! Nope, they're just that awesome. Leanne alsorecommended the Tiramisu and the white wine cake. And they were both insanely good. I don't understand how everything here is soinsanely delicious! So basically...I'm going into a food coma and I regret nothing. *Edit- it may end up looking like I ate 20meals in one visit, but I'm just adding photos to this review every time I go! Read more

It was definitely not a first choice!! my lasagna came out cold, they replaced it. the next one was hot but it was definitely... over seasoned.. almost bitter and sour!! my cousin had a cheeseburger and he said his was very bland!! the only thing good wasthe onion.. so at a six plates of food two people didn't like it.. but their service was very nice!! They were very prompt andefficient. Our glasses stayed filled.. the adult beverages were awesome.. Read more

My date and I were actually going to go somewhere else and the wait was so long it was Saturday night. So we randomly came here... and they seated us right away I even asked to sit outside and they did. The food was soo good my date loved his steak every bitewas so mouthwatering he had to lean back to appreciate the fine meat. My pasta was also good! We had so much free bread wedidn?t even finish our meal. So we took half to go. We definitely want to come back! Read more

Been here multiple times with my family. We often request sitting in the patio since the dining room can get a bit loud,... especially when there are parties in the back spaces. Each time we have visited we have enjoyed our food. We've tried many oftheir steak options and most times our food is delivered to our specifications. The chicken and salmon were crisped delightfullywhich gave great texture alongside the pasta. They have an immense drink menu for wines and cocktails. For dessert theiraffogatos are supreme! The gelato was deliciously creamy. We've also had their donuts, which are equally just as delicious andaddicting. Read more

Went here on a Saturday night, this place was PACKED! Our server, although swamped, did an amazing job and was very attentive.... The owner came over and introduced himself and seemed very involved in the day to day of the restaurant. Food was fantastic anddrinks were good too! Can?t wait to come back! Read more
