The restaurant received mixed reviews, with some praising the food and service while others found issues with certain aspects. Some customers enjoyed the food, highlighting dishes like the meatballs, calamari, and lamb chops. However, others were disappointed, mentioning problems like over-sauced pasta, small portions, and inattentive servers. The atmosphere and COVID protocols were generally well-received. Pricing was a concern for some, especially during special events like New Year's Eve. Despite mixed feedback, the restaurant was recommended by many for its food quality and overall experience.

Our server maria was fantastic. eating was fantastic. the octopus was as tender as w/beets and pancetta in the beet could be pure. the rigatoni seafood is always so fantastic, I always say I will try something else, but never can pass it on!

Excellent service! delicious food! we celebrated the birthday of a friend and enjoyed our way! we look forward to the return!

Always make sure to ask about the specialities, the cook is a genie in the combination of fresh ingredients in its dressed. their appetizers are so incredible that it is hard to select only one, so we have selected two in the night!

I helped plan a large event here for a 90th Birthday celebration. The team was great. Their event coordinator communicated well, and they executed everything as planned. The food was excellent, pricing was a great value and the service was exceptional. I would highly recommend not only for a nice dining experience but for parties, rehearsal dinners and corporate events as well! Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
