Try the Caprese - The drizzled olive oil had a hint of basil . The salad was served room temperature so you could taste the freshness of the tomatoes and mozzerella . Yum!

Susan Berg

During the week, consider getting a sandwich at the counter and eating out on their patio . Soup and sandwich for $7.99. Great deal!

Got duped into eating here. Just your average high end Italian chain. Eat somewhere else.

Decent wine list

Don't eat here unless you you like to spend money. Food cold and service colder.

Really enjoyed this. Food is great, it's lively and warm. Checks are separate so it's a great place to come with groups. Full gluten-sensitive menu, full bar, beer on tap, plenty of wine ???? - Josh Reeder-Esparza
