Unfortunately, I do not have good news. I used to LOVE this place but now it's just a normal Italian restaurant with fairly high prices. Avoid the pasta at all costs it's not cooked well, and it will ruin your experience and meal. I had the veal Parm, and wife had chicken Francess. They were both OK, but just OK not what I am used to at this restaurant. I will only give it three stars. The service has always been good here, but the food has gone downhill but just down to the same level of the other local Italian restaurants. Good but not fantastic anymore.

1 salad (shared), 2 main dishes (just Ok), 1 dessert (shared), 2 coffees, 1 glass of alcohol before meal: $160 (inc. tip). In my opinion, quality and service were just not good enough for this price. Also, temperature really high in each of the dinning rooms. Probably won't be back.

It started off a bit shaky and almost walked out! The host was not too quick to accommodate us as we didn't want to be seated near the bar. He found a better spot for us, which was nice! He warmed up after a while, and we had a good time. The food was good as well as the desert! I would definitely come back.

Decor is a bit outdated but the food definitely makes up for that. We came here for Valentine's Day dinner so the menu may have been slightly different than the normal menu. The stuffed bronzino wasn't really "stuffed." The seafood was on top of the fish but the flavor was excellent. The lamb osso buco could use more seasoning. However, the lamb was cooked to perfection. The only things that bothered me were the manager didn't wear a mask the entire time we were there and was going around hugging customers and the fact that the room you first walk into when you come in the restaurant reeked of cigarettes.
