If you want great italian food this is the place to go. Their homeade pasta was light and flavorful. We had the gnochi special which is some of the best I ever had.. Everything we had was increadable. The atmosphere and service was wonderful. The wine list was extensive. This is the place to go for a great meal and a perfect night out.

I was incredibly surprised at how good everything was at this restaurant. The owner was very friendly and the wait staff was very efficient. But the star of the show was the FOOD. YUM!! I had the gnocci and it was freshly made and tasted like it! Usually gnocci can be heavy and dense but these gnocci were like fluffy clouds of deliciousness. Everyone in our party stopped talking when the food came (except for mmm and yumm sounds).
Great wine selection and save room for dessert! Check this place out!

This used to be a great place to eat, but it's completely gone down hill. Last 3 times I've eaten here, I received the WORST service. The grouchy waiters don't greet you, don't smile, don't say "you're welcome", don't bring you fresh water, don't bring you fresh bread and don't care if you exist. I spoke to the owner Halena about this and the most she could do is muster a weak apology and say "give us another chance." The fish is over salty and they had the nerve to blame it on the "capers". I've had fish with capers for years... never had such bad salty fish. I called a waiter on his bad attitude and pointed out he never could even crack so much as a slight smile and even after this, he continued being cold, rude and very un-friendly. I WILL NOT EVER COME BACK. I had brought my 4 co-workers with me to this place numerous times, when they used to be better. But the last 3 times was terrible. They even charged me for one of the terrible dishes I gave back and refused to credit me. The owner also refused to credit me when I didn't even end up eating the dish! So rude! NEVER COMING BACK.
FYI... they close at 2:30, so don't be late. And if you come in at 2:15, they'll pressure you to order ASAP because "the kitchen is closing" and won't even give you time to look over the menu. TERRIBLE SERVICE. Not at all worth the food. I'll go to Cafe Giostra and ask for Ann Marie (the best waitress there & the owner's daughter). Her father even told our waitress to give us a free bottle of port when I brought my mom with me. How sweet!
