  11. It was marked by attentive service, good food, and reasonable prices in a very friendly, neighborhood place.
  12. very reasonable prices with the same white tablecloths and great service.

  14. The service and friendly atmosphere are worth 6 stars at least.
  15. Good portions, affordable, good corkage fee

Accommodating Staff

by eblanaken

Dropped in with my two young children late Sunday afternoon. Kids had Margherita Pizza and Chicken Parmigiana and loved it, clean plates both.The days specials were well described, I opted for the Barramundi fish and was not disappointed.The appetizers were not too kid friendly but the kitchen rustled up some wonderful Bruschetta which my ravenous twosome devoured .The decor is warm and inviting and the atmosphere mirrors it. I can't wait to revisit with my wife for a cozy evening soiree.

  • Pros: Friendly Prompt Service
  • Cons: None

Light Italian fare with friendly service

Looks slightly run-down on the outside, but a very clean, pleasant interior.

  • Pros: Friendly, classy
  • Cons: Parking

Good service, bad food.

by tveen2607

Nice atmosphere and service, but food is bland and over priced for quality. Sauces were not up to par and lacked flavor. The veal Osso Bucco with risotto was rushed and tasted more like a bland Irish stew with Rice. The Pollo Cipriani was also bland and low quality.

  • Pros: Nice atmosphere, great service.
  • Cons: Bland food, over priced.
