My boyfriend and I had an excellent experience here. The atmosphere was very upbeat. It was a little loud, so we were glad to be seated near the open air area. However, the noise was laughter and talking amongst friends and family at other tables, so it wasn't unpleasant. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wine selection and the other items on the menu. We didn't feel rushed to decide what we wanted, which was appreciated. We ordered two glasses of wine, the fresh bread, meatballs, and we each had the tripoline. We didn't have a single complaint. The pasta was al dente, which is often not the case at restaurants. All in all, it was wonderful, and we plan to go back again.
