Best Italian food ever! I had the risotto and scallops and it melted in my mouth. Husband had a type of pasta and he loved every bite. Server was down to earth and friendly. Highly recommended! Also, loved the little shop attached.

Our group loved the experience and the meals. Excellent wine choices and menu variety. Sorry, I didn't get our wait staff's name but she and the wine steward/manager were great! Thanks to all! We'll be back!
