"I was shocked. First off, the quality and quantity for the cost ratio was unreal. Much of the food/ingredients are home made and you can tell. I was shocked by the menu prices; they truly are a two dollar pricing restaurant with 5 star quality food and service. We had the fried zucchini, tortellini champagne, and the steak Americano. I ordered medium rare and it was the juiciest pink temperature with perfect crisp searing. The service stood out to me the most. It is a family owned family run business, and you can tell by the personal touch that you get. Cari greeted us and sat us, and her brother Alex waited on us, and they were sociable, knowledgeable, and personable. They truly cared, and you could tell. I can't say I've gotten better service in as long as I can remember, and I work in the service industry. The family owns the restaurant and the wine shop next door. The restaurant itself is great. You'd be surprised looking at it from the street. It's right by espressos which is also great, but once you get to their patio it feels like you're sipping wine at a villa, and the inside decor is very authentic Italian. Comfortable booths and tables, with romantic low lighting, and the bustling noise of clanking plates and excited chatter. Great experience. I highly recommend! I was recommended by a coworker, and I am glad I gave it a try. Don't believe the negative reviews that are isolated incidents, those people missed out and didn't give them a chance to show their best. We will be back!"
