This was our 2nd visit, my wife and I. We liked it as much as our first time 3 months back. The food is really well prepared, ... with meats remaining tender and juicy. Kudos to their chef and saucier as the flavors are subtle and excellent. A large andvaried menu with soups, salads, meat or seafood entrees and pasta dishes. Their soups are clean and tasty. We enjoyed chickenin marsala sauce and roasted pork tenderloin: both bursting with smooth flavors! A nice wine list with many local offerings. Thewait staff is quiet, efficient and unobtrusive (a lost art). The lighting is a tad somber making menu reading more difficultat night. Put on your nicer clothes, speak in hushed tones without the glare of your phone - and relax in a small oasis ofelegance and tasty food! Read more

I **really wanted** to like this place, but bottom line: they grossly over charge and under deliver. - $19 Manhattan cocktail... (what?!?) - Under-salted pasta for $$$ (I'm not even a big salt fan, but bland pasta is easily noticeable, even when topped withgorgonzola & prosciutto) - Wait staff was flat-faced and perfunctory - not welcoming or inviting. Asking for another drinkelicited a sigh. To be honest, since I live out in the country with few options, I'd probably try again some other night withadjusted expectations, but Italian food should not be this expensive for so little in return.

We dined at this restaurant last evening and we were disappointed. They brought bread to our table, but very dense and somewhat... dry. The olive oil and vinegar was also very tart. Not an aged and sweet vinegar. The pear salad was very mushy, and the othertwo not freshly made. The shrimp in the pasta dish, was over cooked. The other two entries were average. We did not stay fordessert. Location was good, parking lot excellent, and building on the outside was appealing. Inside decor was fine, butdated. Read more

What a wonderful dining experience I had at this little Italian gem of a restaurant. I came upon it by chance during my evening... walk. My mind said no but my tummy said yes and led the way. Mind you it was 7:45 when I arrived just 15 minutes before theyclosed. Instead of scowls and grumblings that I was so late, I was welcomed in like a lost hungry cousin. They all were morethan eager to serve me. I was apologetic, but they assured me they had time. The manager came over and said, "Don't worry. Iwon't let you leave hungry." Within minutes the bread came flying in with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, napkins, silverware,water, and menu were all laid out in front of me on a beautiful white table cloth. The waitress Teresa was a breath of freshair. I was treated like royalty. She was so cheerful, upbeat, professional and happy to serve. Sometimes fine dining Italianrestaurants can have an air of snobbery and stuffiness, but not here. Family is the only word that comes to mind. I orderedlinguine pasta with anchovies, olives, hold the capers and extra red sauce. All my special wants were fulfilled with a smile.The pasta dish was delicious, the service impeccable. I scarfed it down, paid and had the rest wrapped up to go. It was seamlessall the while bring reassured there was no rush. I cant wait to return to this establishment soon. They had mo idea I was aGoogle Reviewer with 22 Million views. I could have been John Smith just off the street and they would have received the sameoutstanding service. Bon appetit y Arivederci. Until we dine again. Read more

We’ve been searching for a good Italian restaurant since moving to the Pacific Northwest 6 years ago, the search is over. The... moment we entered, we were blasted with an aroma that tells you something good is being cooked here. Exceptional serviceprovided by Kyle the entire evening. My wife noticed shrimp scampi being offered as well as a calamari steak with a white winesauce. She inquired if it was possible for them to make a calamari scampi, her favorite while living in Hawaii. Kyleresponded, Yes, we can do it, great idea. She loved it. I had beef tenderloin wrapped with pancetta and red wine sauce, thatwas great too. The mash potatoes were so creamy. Kyle suggested we have the tiramisu for dessert. We hesitated knowing wehave 1 1/2 tiramisu cake at home in the freezer. We inquired if they made it on site and with his affirmation we tried it. Perfection Read more
