I love the restaurant, it's been a favorite of mine for many years. The manager is usually quite polite to me and my guests. The service may be rushed at times, and it may be difficult to get in, but in my experience the wait is usually worth it. The food is always warm and well done. I definitely recommend the chicken in white wine sauce.

The service was horrific! Our waitress could not recommend any dishes, she hovered annoyingly until our food arrived at which point we literally didn't see her again. In between courses, we were forced to go into the restaurant to get our own clean utensils and side plates as well as our bill at the end of the evening. The calimari and seafood dish were covered in what seemed to be some a sort of balsamic 'gravy', the veal parm and penne were dry and the salads were bland. However, the pizzas were very good and so was the cornish hen. We would not go back and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Terrible service. Waiter was rushing us....
Food was very disappointing. Atmosphere is alright but extremely noisy. They need to improve on customer service.
