We had a lovely experience at dinner tonight! Very quick service, extremely friendly and helpful workers, a peaceful and warm setting, and delicious food. We’re not chefs but we only had slight food critiques, such as that we wished there was much more sauce for the mussels appetizer because the sauce was so good! Or maybe if the mussels were also marinated in the sauce for a bit longer. But overall everything was great and we had a wonderful experience. I would recommend to friends and would return.

All four of us enjoyed our dinner. They provided me with a plant based menu that had several options. My dish was delicious.

My husband and I just tried this place and it was amazing! Since we got there before 6:30 we took advantage of the Happy Hour drinks and he got a pizza. The vodka sauce was also delicious. I am from Upstate NY and am picky about Italian food. This is a place we will be returning to soon as I want to try some other dishes on the menu. The server was friendly and checked back often but not too often. The manager asked how our meal was and even gave us a $10 card to come back again! I’m not sure how often they do that but it made us feel welcomed as new customers. I loved the ambiance there, the bar area reminds me of places in small NY towns that I miss. Check this place out, you will be glad you did!

Nice bar area with inviting booths. Chicken Marsala and Vucinos Branzino were both outstanding. Caymus Cabernet ($94)was a great value. Service is efficient. Owner seemed visible. We live in the area and this was our first visit. We'll certainly return

Love this place.. a true local,quaint, and quality restaurant with a bar including tables and booths.. the kind of place "easy to become a regular" customer at. Excellent wine selection and Italian dish selection. My New Zealand mussels with Linquine were delicious.
