Let me start this by saying we're from upstate New York and take our Italian food very seriously. Upon the recommendation of others and reviews we thought we'd try this family owned busienss for my son's birthday. Our arrival was at 6pm on a Saturday and the dining area was well attended. We were quickly greeted and give one of only three available tables. Our waitress announced that this was her first night but greeted us with a smile and answered all our questions with the assistance of notes. We chose to try the house chianti, at $23 a bottle. I thought that was high. It was fine. I wouldn't go out of my way to search for it. We each chose a different dish: chicken piccata, ravioli, ziti with meatballs and chicken parm, all pretty standard Italian fare. We added the a la carte dinner salads. The menu is basic but has no entree description and we did not ask. We had finished our salads when the waitress appeared holding the entrees. She forgot to clear the table and so we quickly stacked our own plates so she could set the entrees. Piccatta and Parm: Large bowls of pasta with a breast of chicken on top of each one. Again, not what we expected. Ziti arrived in a small narrow chafing dish, along with a second chafing dish of meatballs. Ravioli was large and served in an equally large bowl. Three out of us were not impressed. Meatballs were bland, zita portion too small. Chicken picatta was slightly under done. Very salty. Dessert, we went with the raves about Creme Brulee and Italian cream cake. No offering of coffee. No drink refills unless we asked. The Italian Cream cake was quite good, the Creme Brulee runny. Dinner for four was $100. Way to much for this level of service, atmosphere and food.

The food is good. However, the menu does not include kids meals... Ordering a half portion for the kids, can get your bill pretty high. The creme brullee is very good. The other cakes are average. Nice place, too expensive with kids.

Wow! Where to start? From fabulous bruschetta....thick slices of mozzarella, and warm roasted bread covered with thousands of fresh tomatoes to some of the best chicken marsala I have ever eaten, this restaurant filled the bill for cozy and intimate....I felt like someone had invited me into their home as a valued guest and fed me to show their appreciation and love. The food fest ended with a smooth creme brulee topped with a crunchy sugar top...I was in Italian heaven... and I can come back!
