The menu is eclectic but substantial of the traditional dishes are plentiful and worth exploring! I got the Gnocchi with a couple of meatballs and my Wife got the chicken in white sauce.

We got the fried calamari and artichokes (great, good flavor). The table bread was toasted and garlic seasoned. My entree (mushroom ravioli with petite filet) was very good! That ravioli was 10/10! Perfectly cooked! That cheese sauce was so rich and creamy! Best pasta dish I've had in a while! My petite fillet was pretty good but only con was I requested medium and it was medium rare, but still great and I eat my meat either way. The only thing I didn't care for was the house salad. That dressing oil to vinegar ratio was off. It did not look or taste fancy and upscale like my entree did. The ceaser salad looked way more appealing. I tried a seasonal cocktail and man that was a refreshing orange spritz that was perfect for a hot day! I would for sure go back and try other things!

My wife had the mushroom ravioli and loved it. She usually doesn't like mushrooms, but she was feeling adventurous. We had the lobster puffs as an appetizer, which were light, flaky, and also excellent. They also served a comp bread and olive oil starter (be careful, it's very easy to fill up on itbecause it's so good). I had two local brew craft beers, one stout and one light, which were both very good. The atmosphere was very nice. Well decorated, soft lighting, and very nice staff. Our server's name was Kennedy and she did an excellent job. She was very friendly and professional. I asked several questions about the food and beer selections and she gave helpful answers to all of them. My wife and I have been keeping up with our Italian tradition for our anniversary and we both agree this is at the top of our list. We definitely plan on coming back! *2nd visit* Easily another 5 star visit. Had the blackened grouper risotto, an appetizer, and a few glasses of wine. My wife and the in-laws had shrimp scampi and Chardonnay clam spaghetti. Everything was excellent. I will definitely be back for another. *4th or 5th visit... Once again, absolutely incredible. Good service, good atmosphere, great food.

I'm honestly still shocked by this experience. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by roaches…read moreat the door not just one, but multiple crawling around the entrance and across the floor. It immediately made the place feel extremely unsanitary. What made it worse was that employees noticed the roaches and did nothing. Some workers were on break just standing there, watching roaches crawl around, instead of addressing the issue. On top of that, staff handling food weren't wearing gloves, which is very concerning given the visible pest problem. Cleanliness and food safety should be a bare minimum for any restaurant, and this place completely missed the mark. I couldn't feel comfortable eating here at all. I would not recommend this restaurant and definitely won't be returning.

Comes with a really good sauce. Enough for 4 people to share. I ordered the steak sandwich. It was my least favorite thing that I ate. The sauce was different, needed salt or some type of seasoning. I wasn't a fan of the steak either. My toddler enjoyed her kid's chicken tenders and fries. I wasn't able to sneak a few of her fries and they were very good! My sister ordered the Mezzaluna. It was very good as well. I was able to sneak several bites! The chicken was also very tender. My Mom ordered the cheesecake for her birthday dessert. It was delicious and enough for 4 people to share. I'm sure we will definitely be back in the near future. I just will not order the steak sandwich.

The Pilsner, while possessing an undeniably appealing flavor profile, arrived at room…read moretemperature--a cardinal sin that dulled its crispness and muddled its intended nuances, leaving it tasting flatter than it deserved. In stark contrast, the Lemoncello Cheesecake Martini proved an absolute delight: rich, creamy, and lush with bright lemonade notes. Intensely satisfying and dangerously drinkable, one could happily indulge in a gallon of this velvety concoction. Service brought its own inconsistencies. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive, cheerfully assisting with menu navigation. However, requests for ice water were met repeatedly with room-temperature glasses, requiring multiple reminders that never quite resolved the issue. The menu itself presented a minor puzzle--the dessert section was absent, leaving us uncertain whether a separate dessert menu existed or if options had simply been overlooked. The appetizers shone brightly. The Fried Green Tomatoes arrived as a visually stunning plate (we had already dispatched two of the four slices before snapping a photo). The breading was on the heavier side yet carried solid flavor, while the accompanying sauces stole the show. The marinara was exceptional--deep, fresh, and layered with complexity; one could easily envision bottling it. The cream sauce provided a lovely counterpoint to the vibrant pesto, which surprised me (as a general pesto skeptic) with its balanced texture and multifaceted flavor profile. The Burrata and Charcuterie-style starter was equally successful. Featuring a generous bowl of creamy burrata, two varieties of sweet jam, assorted cured meats, and crusty bread, it invited creative assembly into custom crostini. This interactive element added an innovative, playful touch while delivering robust, harmonious flavors. Unfortunately, the main courses told a more mixed story. The Sausage and Broccolini pasta was a clear disappointment. Visually, it arrived swimming in excess grease that overwhelmed the palate from the first few bites onward and very muted tones. While the pasta was perfectly cooked, the broccolini retained a pleasant crunch, and the sausage offered good initial flavor and texture, the sheer quantity of oil coated everything, rendering subsequent tastes one-dimensional and heavy. In hindsight, the Shrimp Caprese might have been the wiser choice, though the menu's lack of portion detail gave pause. My husband's Chicken Parmesan fared better. The cutlet showed a darker presentation that stopped short of burnt, and while the visual appeal suffered slightly, the flavor delivered. The pasta was cooked beautifully with a well-balanced sauce portion, and the generous cutlet itself was tender and satisfying--a solid, classic execution. Overall, the meal had moments of real brilliance, particularly in the appetizers and that unforgettable martini, tempered by execution missteps in temperature control and richness management. A restaurant with clear potential, though one that would benefit from tighter attention to fundamentals.
