Even though it was my first time in, it is my new favorite restaurant! I can't wait to go back in and try more. They had so much to offer and a lot of dishes you wouldn't expect to see on a ordinary italian restaurants menu. Not to mention the service was great and the inside is beautiful (even the bathrooms! There's a chandelier in the family bath!) The prices were fair and we loved the happy hour!
I came in the other day at about 5:30 and was seated right away. My server not only let me know that it was happy hour but also made great suggestions on what to get. My husband tried their draft beer and I ordered myself a margarita. I was so shocked to see that they had premium liquor and it was included in the happy hour. Most places only give you their well but they had almost all of their drinks with the premium liquor on happy hour! Our server even brought us over waters without us asking.
We got the roasted asparagus as an appetizer which was recommended by our server. It was so good the way they cooked it! I don't usually like asparagus but it was so good! It even came with a side salad of some sort which was great as well.
It was about time for us to order our food and our server had again made more recommendations for us. She really knew what she was talking about and made the big menu not as scary to choose something. She even saw that our drinks were getting low and asked us if we wanted another round before happy hour ended.
Our food came in a prompt manner and was steaming hot when it arrived. I tried the garlic shrimp and my husband had a calzone. Man was that thing huge! It was about the size of a football! Both dishes were really good and the bread that came with it was so addicting! My husband tried to finish his calzone but didn't quite. I was shocked to see that our lovely server brought over not only a container for the calzone but even a little one for his marinara.
She offered us the after dinner menu and we took a look but we were stuffed. It looked like a good variety of "family style" and smaller portioned desserts for two.
I highly recommend trying the place out if you live near or are in the area!
