- SHsiquia harrisDec 25, 20255.0Great experience. Severs are friendly and the hostess was like being seated by mom. Food was excellent. Chocolate martini is delicious!
- FHFélicie HalleDec 25, 20253.0Beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité du repas. Pas mauvais mais pour le prix on s'attend à beaucoup mieux. Quantités faibles pour le prix payé... Repas était froid en arrivant... si vous êtes frileux, à éviter le soir car bâché. Parking à disposition si besoin Je n'y retournerai pas
- CLChris LentzDec 5, 20255.0Great experience, everyone was very friendly and accommodating for our group and the food was excellent
- MGmelanie greenoughNov 23, 20255.0I found this place on Google and had no idea what to expect. From the moment I walked in the service was warm and very hospitable. They were attentive to my order, let me taste and choose wine, wines, and the staff truly care about their customers. I am celiac so finding an Italian place that takes care to prep my food with no gluten is important and they made me amazing. Steamed vegetables with all of garlic, a plate of delicious brussels sprouts and the best Bolognese I’ve had in a restaurant in a long time. This truly is a little slice of Italy.
- ACAndrew CartmellNov 4, 20255.0I recently dined at this Italian restaurant and had an exceptional experience. I tried the Truffle Ravioli ($33), which was creamy and decadent, the Grilled Salmon Filet ($35) cooked perfectly with a delicate sauce, the Bolognese Gnocchi ($29) packed with rich flavor, and the Lobster Risotto ($42), which was luxurious and perfectly seasoned. The service was outstanding—Manager Mauro Corbia personally welcomed us and checked in during the meal, ensuring everything was perfect. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, providing great recommendations. The atmosphere is elegant yet cozy, with a charming outdoor patio ideal for enjoying pleasant evenings. Parking is easy with on-site spots, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Families are welcome, and kids’ needs are thoughtfully accommodated. Overall, the combination of delicious high-end dishes, attentive service, and comfortable, accessible surroundings made for a memorable dining experience that I highly recommend.
