The wine list offers a good selection of Italian wines and gluten-free options are also available. The portions are on the smaller side and the presentation is simple. Overall, the quality is average with minimal garnishes and a lack of greens. The cuisine lacks a modern Italian touch, but still provides a pleasant dining experience rooted in culinary tradition.

We ordered a special dessert, a cannoli for $10, but were surprised to receive only a small cannoli with a tiny filling. We suggest informing the staff when customers are paying $10 for a dessert, as they ended up bringing an extra cannoli after we complained. However, they still charged us for the second cannoli. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, and that is why we did not leave a tip and will not be returning.

Watched every other guest get their food. No one came to check on us or say where the food...was or ask if we needed a drink. Asked where food was kept saying coming next. After 10 minutes we left. Not even an offer of taking a drink off our bill. Won't return. Never experienced such bad service.

The staff were very friendly and efficient and as a couple were seated away from the larger groups....If we were local we would be regular customers here.
