First visit to a familiar restaurant location with a new name. What you can't tell from my pictures of this beautiful food was that the flavors were also amazing. Service excellent - from the hostess- to the waitstaff to bartender. The owner checked in with everyone to see how everything was! Also not shown, is the upstairs piano bar & newly built outside dining/bar & bocce ball courts. (opening this weekend). Our party of 4 enjoyed cocktails & appetizers from the Happy hour menu and our amazing dinners. Portions were perfect. We left comfortably satisfied. Be advised prices are on the higher end. We will return, especially for happy hour & any special occasion. read more

This is a higher end Italian restaurant that's been open for a couple of months now. There are 2 levels of seating and we were sat downstairs where the tables were very close together. There were still empty tables when we arrived, but we were sat right next to another party so we could overhear their conversation. The menu items all sounded really tasty, so we were excited to try this place. I had an espresso martini which was so so. The server forgot 2 of our drinks and we had to remind her a few times. Once of us had tea and the teapot barely had enough water to submerge the tea bag. The long hots appetizer was inedible due to how overwhelmingly spicy it was with nothing else to accompany the peppers on the dish. I always eat really spicy food and for me to send this back is saying something. I did enjoy these eggplant that the bread came with though. The Caesar salad was pretty good and served with some Parmesan crisps. I had the gnocchi dish for my main course, and it was okay. I've had better vodka sauce and the braciole it was served with was a flank steak wrapped around a hard boiled egg and was very firm & chewy. It was my first time having braciole & I wouldn't get it again. I did sample some of the bolognese which was good. I also thought the caramel banana cheesecake and Italian cookies we had for dessert were tasty. They also serve brunch so I would like to go back and try that menu someday, but overall my experience was pretty good but not great. I'm not in a hurry to return. read more

Eh! Low quality food in a nice atmosphere. Great service! I won't be back any time soon.

I brought my family out to dinner last Friday. The service was excellent. The upstairs is well designed and has its own mini bar. The only thing I would recommend is maybe some more lighting as we needed extra tea lights to read the menu. The food was the showstopper though. Everything I tried was amazing. It's a scratch kitchen, but cook times weren't long at all. Everything was fresh and made in house. The ravioli and Carbonara were especially tasty. Even the Italian cookie I tried was the best I'd ever had. Definitely check this place out. I'm excited to stop by for their brunch on Sundays read more

Went with a large group to celebrate a birthday. 1. Service was impeccable! 2. Appetizers were very good and sized generously for the price. 3. My veal parm on the bone was top tier, not Chef Volas, but up there. 4. Very friendly atmosphere. 5. Bartenders were friendly and the pours for our drinks were very nice. 6. Only negative I have is that they don't have Ketel One vodka. Great place and happy that they are in Galloway!! read more

After our first visit to this establishment on Easter Sunday afternoon, my family and I believed that the food and service was top notch. This rather newly opened restaurant hit a home run. read more

Very below average Italian food .Had reservations for price fix New Years Eve dinner. Halibut had no flavor and was advertised with broccolini which some how never made to the plate. Five desserts were on the on line menu. When it came to order there were only two available. Of the two we were told that no one in the restaurant liked one of the two. Diner quality at best. Price fix or price gab? read more

Our first visit, party of 8, a toddler and a baby. The service couldn't have been friendlier, nor more efficient. The bread crispy, warm and tender. We were given eggplant and also the peppers to accompany it, wonderful stuff! Arancini and calamari appetizers were light, flavorful and not greasy at all. We tried ravioli with vodka sauce, clams and spaghetti, spaghetti with crab (also vodka sauce) and the special, mushroom risotto with shrimp. We are picky eaters when we are out, but all I heard was oohs and aahs from everyone! Only Grandma had left overs! Decaf coffee is usually not great but I went for it and was surprised by the quality! The Italian cookies were the best we have ever had, not heavy at all. We will definitely be back! read more

This place was great. The good, service, drinks and overall value were impressive. We had a very nice table with an open view upstairs. The music playing was perfect for the room. All in all a really enjoyable night out! read more
