    First time here as we were in town visiting a relative that frequents this restaurant. The service was attentive and personable. We had an early dinner on the patio on a Thursday. We were one of two tables with guests so it was quiet other than the traffic on Rt 9. I went inside to use the restroom which was "fine" at best. The indoor dining area was beautiful. Artichoke appetizer was fabulous. Seafood Salad appetizer was fresh but needed some flavor. My dad loved his sizzling Veal Chop. My Sea Bass was delightful. The Rack of Lamb was delicious but a small portion. Carrot cake, tiny serving, was just ok ... maybe would have been better if it wasn't cold. We appreciated and enjoyed the Digestivo. Would absolutely recommend.

    The service was great. The restaurant was loud.

    My favorite Italian place in the area. This is NJ and my wife is Sicilian, so that's saying a lot. This place is worth every penny. The specials are always on point as is the service. If you need to choose one Italian place in the area, this is it. We spend a lot when we go there, but we order a lot too! Worth every penny!!!!

    Great experience to sit outside. Feels like you're away on vacation
