| - Italian food made fresh, with the love and care we found in Italy. The wait staff is competent and friendly, the kitchen is fabulous, and the house red wine is a beautiful Montpolicella Abruzzo. They treated us very well from the moment we entered, and I can't say enough good things about the food and service.
We went on our 5th anniversary; there happened to be a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary--the staff treated both tables and parties well. Our waiter was charming and efficient; the guitar player was enjoyable, never too obtrusive but always providing enjoyable music. When he learned that my wife was of French descent (from our waiter, who was himself from southern France), he played a traditional French song that my wife thoroughly enjoyed hearing. The decorations and ambiance on the upper floor (where we ate) are cozy without being too dark; the downstairs dining room is much darker, but would still be fairly cozy.
We had the Semplice salad (fresh, crisp), the soft polenta (amazing, and a must try), the Carmela pizza, and the butternut squash and mascarpone ravioli. For dessert, we tried Lella's Decadent Plate and it was tremendous. (We were also able to try the tiramisu because the staff gave us a piece of tiramisu in honour of our anniversary. A definite win in the customer service department.)
The prices are in line with the quality, freshness, and service you receive.
