I have tried everything on the menu and never been dissapointed. The bread and salad are great! Good for a family meal or a date night. Always food left over.

I really enjoyed my experience here - I've found a new hang out! I got there early on a Friday - around 6 PM and we were seated right away. The place was clean - small, but important detail for me. My dinnermate really enjoyed her salad (which I declined). We both enjoyed the bread that was brought out - lightly dusted with cheese - perfect way to start a meal. I had rainbow trout encrusted with cornmeal. It had guacamole on the side as well as these three, small spinach-filled enchildas. My dinnermate had a shrimp pasta dish. We each loved our entrees! This is an Italian place, but the menu had lots of interesting twists on Italian food. Great experience. I will return. Also, this is BYOB, but they do have wine that you can order.
Pros: Parking was easy
