    My wife and I went there last Thursday for our anniversary dinner. We enjoyed the great service and most delicious food. The portions were sizable and quite filling. Try the Spaghetti E Polpette. As for dessert, the Tiramasu was delicious.A little pricey, but when you have a two for one coupon ;}, its not too bad.

    There were six of us, and three liked the food and three were disappointed. Overpriced small portions. Other Italian restaurants in the area that charge in the same price range have much larger portions. Mandatory gratuity for tables of 6 or more. We were told on the phone (we called back to verify)that our young son could have a half order pasta meal for 1/2 price, they charged more, and then argued about it. The only way we would go back is if there were two of us with one of their buy one get one entree free coupons. In this case, the small portion size might be appropriate. Frankly, it is unlikely we will go back, even though the restaurant is right down the street from us.

    Unexpectedly upscale; this restaurant serves up some fine Italian food. Decor is relatively light and modern, with black & white framed photos of Italy adorning the walls; and faux paux brick walls dividing the dining room to provide some privacy. Good start was the wonderful warm italian bread including yummy whole wheat, with the obligatory virgin olive oil and parmesian cheese on the table. Then came a complimentary Hors D'Oeuvre of tasty Bruschetta with spread of garlic and chopped tomatoes. Next came our own appetizer of grilled eggplant topped with parmesian and chopped tomatoes, that was light and tasty. For entrees, we enjoyed grilled Baby Squid Stuffed with a mash of bread crumbs and parmesian over delicate linguine. We also tried the Spinach and Veal-stuffed Cappellacci with tomato cream sauce , which was good but the choice of pasta was not a favorite as it is too doughy. Only negative is that the place is a bit on the pricey side -- especially the wines (i.e. in my opinion overpriced); but this is somewhat compensated for by the fact that the accept Entertainment Coupon; and, then suprisingly replace it with their own 2-for-1 coupon for use on next visit. I think we will visit again -- albeit on 'special occasions'.

    This restaurant has the worst service ever. My husband and I went there for a nice romantic dinner on a friday night. When we were seated, we waited patiently for fifteen minutes for a server to come to our table. The server who came to our table wasn't ever our server and the only reason she came to our table is because she saw us looking around. At that point, our romantic dinner was ruined. When I spoke to the manager on duty, she took my complaint as if I was asking for my food to served fast!!! She totally missed my point. Our food, that was not even good and overly priced, was soon rushed to our table. The service that we recienved was horrible and management was not any better. I see how the service get thier customer service. Nothing was done for our service and it seemed like they could care less. Had I known for the price we ended up paying and the service that we recieved, I would of much rather gone an upscale restaurant and gotten my money's worth!

    This is a fantastic, never-boring, Italian restaurant. A wide menu includes exotic ravioli fillings, unusual and large salads (enough for two) and sauces that will surprise. The service is careful and attentive. Bravo!
