We tried this out because of other reviews on Google. I had the Cannelloni Supremo. Very good flavor in a rich creamy alfredo. The chicken broccoli, spinach filling was delicious. My wife had the sampler plater and with so much food she could not finish either of the 3 flavors. My son had the spaghetti with meatballs and like that a lot. My daughter had the Berry good salad which was big enough she couldn't finish either. The service was amazing and the food came out quick and hot.
Risotto needed more rice but it was very yummy. Definitely an entree on its own and not a side. Wedding soup and bread were delicious! Portions are very big.
Great food! If I ever have a chance to eat the jambalaya again, I will absolutely do it. Great service and good gluten-free options. And the house wine was great also.
Excellent food. Even more excellent service and atmosphere. This family owned Italian restaurant has it all! They are extremely accommodating and kind, ensuring you truly enjoy your experience. Above all, they have some very tasty food! We truly enjoyed our pastas, and especially the bruschetta and mashed potatoes! The serving sizes are large, which will fill you up. Very fair pricing as well! This is our new spot to go for Italian food and 100% recommend it to everyone!
Food: Freshly made and fantastic flavors! I was going to order Shrimp Scampi but the staff sold me the Linguini Jambalaya and the spicy sauce is just amazing! Stuffed mushroom is juicy and tasty. Service: our server is a Mexican lady and she was super nice. Her colleague forgot our stuffed mushroom order so our entree was ready but she still came and informed us in time. Very warm and welcoming. Recommend getting reservations ahead cuz they are popular and busy! Ambiance: cheerfully elegant. Very suitable for a light date, family/friend gathering or a day to celebrate with good food and vibe!
This was our first time. We started with the Josh Cabernet and then ordered the calamari- spicy. We got the filet anniversary special . So perfect! They seared the filet first, giving it a charred flavor , it was still medium rare inside. The service was fast and friendly. Prices were reasonable. Thank you Julie for a great time. Your staff is flawless.
