Such an unexpectedly cute and delicious place! Located in a shopping center we weren't sure what to expect but wow it did not disappoint! It's pretty big on the inside with a bar as soon as you walk in. We went for our family christmas dinner and everyone truly enjoyed everything! Our server, Ranquel, was such a sweetheart...we'll definitely request him next time! The manager, Eric, was also sweet and checked on us twice while we dined to make sure everything was ok. Bread is brought to start, which is sooo good! I love a place with (good) bread to start:) We got the calamari as an app which were big pieces and tasted wonderful. The bruschetta was big, but just ok as it was a bit soggy from the oil/tomato mix. The drink menu is on point although we opted for wine, which were reasonably priced for bottles. So many delicious options for pasta that we didn't know what to get but stuck to the faves of carbonara, chicken parm, and penne a la vodka. The kids got pizza from the kids menu and then we all shared some tiramisu and creme brulee which were to die for! We did get the lobster bisque too which was ok, tasted more like tomato soup but it wasn't bad. We finished up with some dessert (tiramisu) cocktails to try and it was a little too chocolatey in my opinion but some may like that. All in all we had a wonderful time and will be back soon:)

File under Hidden Gem. This is a family run Italian place with excellent food and service. Zucchini chips, chicken francese and linguine vongole. The linguini actually turned out to be tagliolini, which I prefer. There are so many places making bad versions of Italian and Italian-American food, but this isn't one of them. It's casual, good for a date or with the family, and they cook to order. I never thought I would mention how a restaurant serves an Arnold Palmer, but here it is special. Served in a way where you can make it to your liking. Four stars means awesome. No hesitation recommending this place.

I live about 10 minutes away from this restaurant, so I've been there many times throughout the years, and the food is always good. On this occasion, I got the pear salad with salmon and it was absolutely delicious. The salad has caramelized pears, blue cheese crumbles, candied walnuts, and pancetta, so it is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The salmon was well-seasoned, but a tad overcooked for my taste. I personally don't like it when the grill marks are too strong. It was $16 for the salad plus $10 for the salmon, so pretty much the standard price for that type of salad and restaurant. I also tried the prosciutto diparma pizza, and again, absolutely delicious. The crust was the perfect width and the toppings were fresh and plentiful. It was $18 for the small one, but it was definitely big enough to share.The service is always amazing, I've never had a bad experience here. I love sitting at one of their cozy booths while I enjoy some good food and conversation. The ambiance is warm and inviting. They have dimmed lights and the decoration is elegant but casual. I think this is a really good spot for both a celebration or a regular outing.

Family dinner of 14 came in over the past weekend and had a wonderful dinner hosted here. The interior was very nice and comfortable. The staff did a great job of providing privacy for our group. Our waiter was excellent at his job with providing us recommendations, laughing and joking along with us, and preformed his services well with no complaints of anything from our group all evening. Food was excellent and came in reasonable amount of time for how many people we had. The staff made sure we had plenty of drinks and bread while we waited. We ordered a couple apps and all shared as well as desserts. Everything was on point and nothing missed. I just can't say how much the service exceeded expectations though. It was a gift indeed and our family appreciated it. Would definitely recommend and more than likely return.

We ordered gnocchi carbonara lasagna truffled arancini chicken parmigiana and a wedge Caesar salad via door dash and everything was well prepared and seasoned well. The gnocchi was my favorite. This is delicious Italian and just a bit above the average. A lot of meat in the sauce. Nice shaves of Parmesan cheese no sprinkles here. Noodles all had just the perfect texture. We fed 9 people for around 200 and we were all pleasantly full and happy with everything.

Finally tried this restaurant and I was impressed! The calamari and truffle balls were very delicious - crispy with the right amount of flavor, both came with the tomato dipping sauce. I ordered the burrata wrapped in bacon appetizer for my dinner - I wish the burrata was softer and the olive oil had a deeper flavor. The highlight was the Paperdelle pasta - the pasta was soft, the sauce was flavorful and had depth. My husband ordered it and I will get it next time. The service was amazing! Our service was very attentive, kind, and nice. The ambiance reminded me of a classic steakhouse vibe - dark, quiet, romantic, and private. I will come back again!
