“ Outstanding dining experience! We started our dinner with a lentil and legumes soup. Following that I’ve ordered the ravioli ossobuco in which the traditional pasta shape in filled with a very tender braised ossobuco meat coated in a rich sauce and topped with sauted shrimp. Simply delicious! My companions ordered the veal Marsala which had a very fragrant and tasty Marsala sauce and the Red snapper paired with veggies which was very tender and also wonderful. The portions were very generous. Our wine choices were Treviso Prosecco and Costa de Bussia Barolo and just made the dinner even more pleasurable. We topped our dinner with a strawberry zabaioni. The staff’s service was excellent, courteous, knowledgeable and very friendly and we really give kudos to the management and its team for providing us with an unforgettable dining experience! Highly recommended! ”
“ 5-stars all around! The food was delicious and incredibly authentic. My husband had the lasagna and it was incredible. I had the chicken Milanese and substituted the spaghetti marranada for fettuccini Alfredo. The chicken was pounded thin and was crisped to perfection. You could also tell that the pasta from the fettuccini was fresh, and the sauce was not too heavy at all. The service was better than 5-stars. The waiters were all extremely attentive and knowledgeable. We were not rushed at any point in our meal, which showed the true authenticity of this Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was perfect. The lighting and mood were romantic but lively. All in all I can’t wait to go back here! ”
“ I had an amazing birthday experience at this restaurant. Ordered the pear ravioli, and braised beef with risotto. The food was amazing and the service was great. The music was also surprisingly really good. Overall had an amazing birthday dinner! Highly recommend and look forward to returning ”
