Food is great and the space is really beautiful! I went with a group of 7 (got a reservation - a must for a large party) and we shared the crispy zucchini, burrata with prosciutto and meatballs for an app and everyone enjoyed. I had the chicken parm for dinner and when I say it's as large as my head...it's a HUGE portion! Other faves for the table were the eggplant parm and spicy vodka pasta. Service is good, too, although felt a bit slow for a Tuesday night and our waiter seemed frustrated with some of our orders (subbing chicken for the sausage in the vodka pasta; adding pasta to some of the proteins, etc). One thing that took a star down is the parking, which has been pretty impossible each of the three times I've been here. They have a relatively small lot (maybe 18 spots total?) with a gravel pad that people 'unofficially' park in. Last night when we arrived there was absolutely no parking, but we learned it was OK to park in the bank or medical office lots on either side, so long as it was 'after hours.' Get there early if you want an easy parking spot!

The restaurant had a very inviting ambiance. There were a couple of us and we had an enjoyable evening. I had a Syrah which was a Rose and different. The meatballs were delicious and the salmon was very well cooked. The service was efficient. I would definitely come back.

Great food and great service...we were there with a group and the place was perfect. The only issue is parking is pretty limited!

Came here on a Saturday night for dinner with a friend and it was amazing! They offer valet service so parking wasn't an issue. I do recommend making a reservation. We both had the drizzy spritz which was delicious. The def do make the drinks strong. We did have to ask our server for bread while some tables were automatically brought bread. For entrees, I had the spicy penne vodka with sausage which was great and then my friend had the rigatoni bolognese which was she said was tasty. The star of the show was def the brocolini which came spicy and was delicious. For dessert we had the fritelle which was so good. It's not listed on the dessert menu but if you asked for it, they'll be able to do it. Would definitely come again!

My old school Italian father always boycotted this place so I had never been until... he was out of town one weekend and I suggested to my mother and sister we check it out. So yeah, it isn't old school Italian (no faded posters of Goodfellas and the Godfather or red and white checkered tablecloths). It's a much more youthful, trendy spot with a full bar in the center. Shoutout to our waitress who insisted we get these Nutella zeppole type (IDK the actual name, it was a special) dessert instead of tiramisu. They came out fresh and hot ready to be dipped into the Nutella. Definitely recommend for your next date or girls night... without the old school Italian devotee in your life!

We visited this restaurant for the first time last night for a family birthday dinner. We looked forward to eating here, as we had heard great things. I will start by saying that the forty minute car ride was absolutely worth it. The restaurant has a large open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, and it is definitely a comfortable place to be. Staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful. The food was incredible. Linguine Nero was absolutely wonderful, with generous amounts of crab meat and in a delicious spicy sauce. Calamari was crispy and the garlic aioli that came with it added depth and lots of flavor. My other half loved her lasagna. Drinks from the bartender were well-mixed, strong, etc. Good bourbon selection here. Overall, a wonderful experience. Will definitely return.

This is a great dinner spot. The interior is cozy but modern, and service wise everyone was super friendly and nice. It really feels like a family restaurant but more upscale. Another plus is their huge parking lot. As for the food, mostly everything was delicious. We got the baked little neck clams to start and they were just okay, maybe a little too oily for my tastes. Next we got the roasted salmon and rigatoni bolognese for our mains. The salmon was cooked perfectly and I loved the sweetness from the sweet potato. The rigatoni had a lot of good flavor and felt like a really nice home cooked meal. The dessert really blew me away. We were recommended to get the fritelle and it was hands down one of the best desserts we've ever had. We were already so full from our dinner but these were so good that we finished the entire plate! Overall a very good spot for a nice dinner whether it be a date night, birthday, etc. I'm definitely coming back to try more!
