This was my first time visiting this restaurant and I plan to return. The interior is pleasantly laid out with an attractive bar. The service is friendly and swift which is a major plus. Now for the food...it is excellent. I ordered a Caesar salad to start which had the freshest dressing I have ever experienced. For my main course I went with one my favorites pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage which was the best I have had in a long time. Full of flavor without being too oily and the sausage was not salty, which is a sign of quality meat.<br><br>I live in New York City which means crossing the bridge, but the food is definitely worth it!

I recently visited a restaurant that left a wonderful impression. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cozy atmosphere made it a truly inviting place to dine. The interior was well done, creating a warm and comfortable space perfect for relaxing meals. The service was excellent, with attentive staff and plenty of options to choose from on the menu. I'd definitely return in the future. This spot is ideal for both family gatherings and an intimate dinner for two.

I do not leave a bad review unless it is granted. I am obsessed with steak and don't mind paying the price for it. $58 dollars for a steak in a scale from 1-10 should be at least 6, this steak was solid 4... just a regular piece steak with a simple salt and pepper seasoning. I also ordered the sauteed spinach with bright the total bill (with tax) to 77.00 dollars. Sooo disappointed....also there's like 3 steak dishes... this restaurant is an Italian restaurant, not steak house.
