Okay now to the good part, this place is a classic Italian Restaurant, fancy, nice place with excellent prepared dishes, superb service and everything is always delish! We had the Halibut and it was out of this world (highly recommend). But first the apps; crabcakes w/shrimp added a nice little twist from traditional, clams oregano sweet small lots of flavor, calamari tender just what you would expect. Drinks include an Italian beer haven't seen anywhere else (see pic) sangria Italian style is a refreshing version too. Another main entree was the Scallops also a favorite (kinda on the light side though), the Messi Rigatoni veal, sausage, peas, ricotta, just delish! Desserts are all so good too. Oh I can't say enough about the service, so efficient other restaurants could learn from!

It’s the first time going back there and Billy the chef could not have given us a better meal. It was great!!! I was also happy to see some of the staff back to work.They also did a great job. If anyone is unsure about indoor dining there they did a great job with how safe and comfortable itwas. Thanks for the great food and service!!! JT.
