This restaurant offers excellent service and a wonderful and full menu. I have only had excellent service from them in the past. Including them taking a party of 25 when our first reservations fell thru last minute. Highly recommended!

Very conveniently located, this is an incredible menu of tasty Italian. For a lighter meal, go for the soup, salad, and breadsticks. The Alfredo dipping sauce for the breadsticks is outstanding. It is a great take home option for movie night as well. The prices are reasonable and well worth it.
