We absolutely loved the delicious food and enjoyed the atmosphere. I have to drop one star from the service though. The service was average. As soon as we entered we were welcomed with a not very welcoming tone which was a little strange. The lady that served our table was really nice but was not checking on us as often as we expected.

Restaurant Review This charming little Italian restaurant is a true hidden gem. The intimate and relaxing atmosphere immediately takes you back in time and sets the tone for a memorable dining experience. The live band was a delightful addition—talented, well-versed, and just the right volume to enhance the ambiance without overpowering conversations. The food was exceptional. The mustard salmon was tender, juicy and perfectly cooked. Another highlight was the roasted garlic appetizer—a rich, savory delight that paired beautifully with garlic bread and a glass of white zinfandel wine. Excellent meal, great atmosphere and all for a fair price. Will come back for sure and will highly recommend this place to friends.

We were there for Father's Day on Sunday June 15th, 2025 for the first time. Everything was great. The food was very good, served hot, fresh and the portions were generous not like some other places. The service was quick, friendly and accurate. Can't wait to return.

Hosted a lunch function at the restaurant in early May for around 70 people. Food and service was great, the guests enjoyed the menu we selected and also the wines. The restaurant also took care of a few guests with specific dietary requests (vegan pescatarian). Seating was comfortable as well, the restaurant was very accommodating in setting the tables up as how we requested. Overall a very lovely experience, thank you to Maria, Mario and the restaurant staff for all their support!

Nice Italian restaurant. Service was good and food tasted good. What I really liked was how the food came out hot. Portion size was okay considering the price. Ambience was also nice.

The food is delicious and arrives hot at the table, and the service is attentive. The amount of food per plate is large. The desserts are delicious. There is parking available and it is free. A good option for those who like Italian cuisine.
