Just walking in the door, we were very impressed with the atmosphere. The restaurant was immaculately clean and very tastefully decorated. It was a Wednesday night and they were not busy. We were seated immediately by very pleasant hostess. Our waitress came right over and took our drink orders. My wife said that her Martini was the best that she’s ever had in her life. There were cloth napkins and tablecloth’s, and the tables were set very nice. Our appetizers came shortly after we ordered them and they were very very good. The food came out and that was excellent as well. It was very obvious to us that the owner took great pride in this restaurant, and it was a wonderful treat to go here. The bar was equally as impressive. If you’re looking for a good place to take a date, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We've been meaning to try it forever. WHY DID WE WAIT SO LONG??! Everything was delicious. We started with a Caesar salad and the Farmers Special (canellini beans over grilled focaccia). Dinner was the fusilli pasta dish and the breaded veal chops in a mushroom demi glaze. The veal was the best veal fish I've ever had. Hands down. Finished with crème brulee and focaccia cake for dessert. We will be back many times.

Con?s: drink prices are high $15 and $13 for martini and grey goose/cran respectively. Insult to injury was the $1.50 up charge for stuffed olives forthe martini which made the total cost $16.50 OUCH this is not NYC). Service was lacking. Had to remind three times for bread,server never came back after dinner served. No offer for refreshing cocktails. We had chicken parm and carbonara. Both werejust ok. Whole experience made better by sitting at the bar with a diner who happened to be in the restaurant business. Supernice couple who helped us wrap up the experience by gifting us a spumoni dessert! Since this place was so highly recommended,may try again with table service.
