But before I go into the food, let me address something I've never seen before on a bill. I ordered a Bourbon mixed with Diet Coke and the $15 charge was broken into three separate charges: $12 for whiskey; $2.50 for "whiskey prep rocks" (adding ice?); and $1.50 for "whiskey prep mixed" (mixing it?). What???? The first proseco served to another diner was outright flat, it was replaced. Meal. I ordered veal scalloppine picata and the meat tasted nothing like veal as it was a tough chew. My wife had the shrimp with risotto and she said the shrimp was ok but risotto was flavorless. Indeed, it's the first time I ever saw almost all the risotto left on the plate. The chicken milanesa someone else ordered came out cold in the first round and properly replaced with a new serving however everyone else's meal had to wait so we could eat together. Our waitress was nice but not very experienced and perhaps a little flustered. Brought out the dinners but hadn't bussed the appetizer plates in advance, It's actually not her job so I think they just lack help. The clams and sausage appetizer was very good. Perhaps the place had a bad night, but frankly for $300 with tip for 4 people was simply not worth it. Glad we tried it but it will likely be a one and done for us.

I can see why this restaurant was chosen. We were a group of 10 people celebrating a Christmas Party. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The dining room itself was lovely. It was decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations, a large Christmas Tree in the corner. They have a mantle over the fireplace that was lit up and decorated with Christmas lights. What made this room extra special was the gigantic fireplace that had a roaring fire going as we sat and enjoyed our food and each other's company. The setting was traditional and on each wall were framed pictures. I kind of felt like I was in a Southern home. In a separate room was a nice size bar with flatscreen TV's. We started off with cocktails and appetizers. The dishes that were chosen: MUSSELS ALA VINO- I got them in a marinara sauce with garlic crostini for dipping. The mussels were delicious. CALAMARI FRUTTI- fried calamari with capers, black olives, sun dried tomatoes, and caramelized onions. Along with TRADITIONAL FRIED CALAMARI-with MARINARA. Both Calamari' dishes were delicious. MOZZARELLA EN CAROZZA- Served with marinara sauce. These were crunchy and the middle oozed with fresh melted mozzarella. LITTLE NECK CLAMS AND SAUSAGE- Lemon, garlic, herbs, crostini. These clams were sweet and smokey from the sausage. WINGS- (Medium Heat) the wings were crispy and flavorful. For my entree I chose their Special. STUFFED FLOUNDER WITH CRABMEAT-It was light and tasty. It also came with a vegetable risotto, which was really delicious. Other dishes that were chosen were PORK OSSO BUCCO-Vegetable risotto, and pan gravy POLLO PARMIGIANA-Boneless breast of chicken breaded with marinara and melted mozzarella POLLO MILANESE-Boneless breast of chicken pan-fried topped with arugula, onions, tomato, balsamic vinaigrette SALMON-Pan-roasted salmon with pesto sauce, seasonal vegetable saute, roasted potatoes GAMBERI SCAMPI-Jumbo shrimp, lemon, garlic, herbs, over spaghetti PENNE VODKA-Peas, prosciutto, a touch of cream, tomato, and a splash of vodka. We then went on to desserts. TIRAMISU, LEMON SORBET, TARTUFO, ICE CREAM SUNDAE, RED VELVET CAKE. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed their dinner and their desserts. It was a very relaxing and peaceful evening. Our server was wonderful and very attentive. Even the owner came over and checked on us. I would definitely return and try some other dishes.

The experience is similar to buying a kit car that looks the part but is a replica of Italian cuisine that doesn't always reach the full authentic level of the original. Its success is based on reasonable tasting food for a reasonable price. The pear and Ceasar salads were very good and well orchestrated. The grilled octopus app special with cannellini beans and spinach was very good. The grilled swordfish was a good sized portion. It tasted OK but was not memorable. The mushroom ravioli came with a very watery sauce and were not great. The special lobster ravioli were better, and filled with real pieces of lobster, but the sauce was loose, it lacked seasoning and was not bright or rich in any taste but lobster stock. The premade typical tartufo was the most refreshing dessert. The tiramisu was light and delicious. The limoncello cake seemed premade and the tasty lemon ice overshadowed it. It is a BYOB and they do sell Alba wines in house. The staff is efficient but not very communicative as if they are hoping to not have to answer any questions. With a 20% tip the cost per person (without wine) can be about $70 to $85 per person. The food overall was OK but I wouldn't rush back to experience it again.

It's the kind of spot where you can't go wrong: date night, dinner with friends, or anything in between. We brought our own bottle and had a great time. Our waiter was super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The staff even joked around with me when I forgot my to‑go bag, and yes, I absolutely took it home because the food is that good. I also appreciate that they don't act like offering takeout is beneath them; even the takeout bag was nice. I honestly wish my meals were this good every night. I hope everyone who works here is paid well and enjoys what they do, because they're running the place exactly how a restaurant should be run. It feels like a true community staple somewhere that transports you a bit and makes the whole experience feel special. Lovely all around.

The Risotto Balls are a must-order. I've honestly never had anything like them before, and we finished every last bite. The gazpacho was so refreshing with a spicy, acidic kick. It didn't have much crab, but the flavor of the soup was amazing. The grilled polpo was cooked perfectly with a delicious char, but I do wish the portion was a little bigger. The Margherita pizza had the perfect thin crust with a beautiful wood-fired char on the bottom. The seafood pasta was one of our favorites and easily the best seafood pasta I've had. The creamy lemon sauce was incredible, the shrimp were beautifully grilled with just a little kick of spice, and the portion was huge. We also ordered the Agn Mozzarella, which was rich, flavorful, and another great pasta dish. The only thing we weren't crazy about was the chocolate mousse. It just wasn't sweet enough for our taste. The service was amazing. One of my friends has a shellfish allergy, and they were extremely careful to avoid any cross-contamination. Everyone was so friendly, the food came out quickly, and you could tell they genuinely cared. We went on a weekday without a reservation, and it was still pretty busy, so I'd definitely recommend making one. We'll definitely be back!

The waitress arrived with some water and asked if we wanted something else to drink so we placed a drink order and she asked us if we were ready to order food. We had just sat down and hadn't even looked at our menu yet, so we told her give us a minute. She came back a few minutes later even before she brought the drinks and asked again if we were ready to order. Kind of annoying. Finally got our drinks and I ordered an Arugula salad and a Margarita pizza for dinner. I also asked her for some bread to munch on while we waited for our food. The bread was good but they only dripped about a tablespoon of dipping oil on the plate for about 8 slices of bread. Not even sure why they bothered. The salad came and was very tasty with just the right amount of dressing and cheese. The pizza was delicious as well. Then the bill came and I saw that we were charged $3.50 for the bread and there was no mention of a charge for bread on the menu. Overall quite disappointing!
