Good food . A nice location. Good atmosphere. Our dinner group had a nice time. Weekends are very popular.

9/10/2024 Great food. Great service. Recommend reservations as it seems to always be busy. Tables small for two people. Felt like an Italian restaurant Carolyn W.
8/15/2024 This little place feels like the neighborhood spot you're probably looking for. Every meal starts with a basket of their garlic knots which are always a treat. Their menu is just varied enough & the pasta is always cooked just right. I've visited several times and had a variety of the pasta dishes. My favorites include the Alfredo (if you get it with grilled chicken you'll have more than enough protein!; the shrimp are always fresh tasting and cooked well). The eggplant parm is delightful with a bright marinara and if you'd like to go non-veggie spring for a side of their meatballs!
Note that on the weekends they often have live musicians--ranging from a guitar duo to a saxophone. This had only made a difference for my dad's enjoyment because he's hard of hearing. (Not a slight on anyone's musicianship!)

Really enjoy this place. I've had one or two entrees I didn't like such as an undercooked eggplant parm, but for the most part I've enjoyed everything I've eaten here and I love the intimate but laid back environment. Also, best garlic knots on this side of the solar system, and they are generous with them

7/27/2024 the food was good I had the alfredo sauce on Fettuccini pasta and added chicken. there was a ton of chicken it was good but i didn't see any "cream" in the sauce? i mean who makes alfredo without cream? but it was different good i suspect. the server was attentive and the place screamed family resturant which is good.
