We had a great experience at this restaurant! It was packed, so we waited for about 10-15 minutes in the foyer. The owner was socializing with everyone...those sitting at the tables and then came to the entrance and started up friendly conversation with us. He made us feel comfortable and found us a table in the bar area where we waited until our table was ready. We enjoyed our drinks in the Italian atmosphere and watched as he continued to float around the restaurant engaging everyone in conversation. We started with the artichoke florentine...which was delicious and layered with flavor. We ordered salad, pizza and pasta...everything was original and fantastic! We are looking forward to returning to this gem!
