What our guests are saying
Wally was excellent. We had great service. There were several specials that were SO tempting and only enough room for one. They gave us a private table upstairs and that allowed us to really visit as a group. Loved everything.

The food was great, and they worked with my wife's gluten-free diet. The risotto was fantastic - my wife said it is the best she has had since Italy. I really like the artichokes and had a fantastic chicken and risotto dish.

I love everything about this restaurant! It has a nice atmosphere, it's a little quieter, and the service is amazing. All the food is amazing; I have never had anything here that I didn't love. We've been coming here for years now, hope it never goes away!
