Nestled in a cozy, lively setting, this restaurant offers a generally enjoyable dining experience with standout dishes like pork osso buco, shrimp specialties, and a flavorful build-your-own pasta. Guests appreciate the generous portions and attentive, personable staff who enhance celebrations and casual dinners alike. However, inconsistent service remains a concern—occasional delays, missing items, and lack of responsiveness have led to disappointment for some, particularly on busy nights. While the food is often praised, a few have noted occasional blandness or issues with drink quality. Overall, it’s a charming spot worth trying, but expect some variability in service and timing.

Service was great but food was so bland and never have I ever seen or had poached chicken vesuvio. Chicken was not well seasoned and it was sitting in a very creamy and thick liquid which made my potatoes very soggy.

Food consistently good, but it's way to noisy for any conversation.

They should take Carbonara off their menu since they don’t know how to make it. The garlic flavor overpowered everything. Who uses Garlic in Carbonara? It was so thick like they used cream instead of the traditional ingredients. The Marinara sauce tasted chemical-like. The mussels were good, but could tell they forced spoiled ones to open which is not acceptable. We barely at half the portion and threw out the rest, will not be eating here again.
