The food is excellent, I never had anything that I did not like. Mozzarella cheese balls and calamari are two of my favorite appetizers.

A lovely place, good vibes and great menu. We went for lunch, just the girls and had a relaxing, fun time. We were all happy with the menu, and the outdoor sitting. A perfect day. The food was delicious and plentiful. Two of us ordered Cosmos, and they were also perfect. I only wish I knew about this place years ago.

What a great find. The food and service was outstanding. Huge portions as you can see by the photo. Pictured are Chicken Carabonara and Veal with Eggplant, Spinach and Fresh Mozzarella. Our server was great and we ate outside in the lovely evening weather. Highly recommend.
