“ Wonderful, family service, and pays attention to the customer. When I had to step out to take a call, the waiter asked my dining partner if she'd like to wait for me and he put in my order as soon as I walked back inside. Quaint, charming atmosphere, and the food and wine selection is amazing. The first time I've had fried zucchini flowers since Italy and it was just as I remembered! ”
