Daniel was our server during a 17 person dinner party celebrating a birthday. He was exceptional in singlehandedly making sure that we all had our drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts. He was respectful, efficient and even made time to take multiple pictures of our party. He gathered other servers to sing congratulations and happy birthday to our celebrant. Even though it was getting late and the restaurant was in the process of closing down, he never appeared to rush us out.
The food was delicious and so filling! Daniel provided us with take home containers so we could enjoy the leftovers at home. Thank you, Daniel, for your exemplary service!

Daniel, William, Enzo, and the rest of the staff were amazing. The restaurant was pretty empty because we came in at an off time. It was just my mom and I celebrating her birthday. We knew the portions were huge, but we still wanted to come anyways. The White Sangria was very good. It was strong, sweet, and refreshing. The bruschetta is always great. The bread was soft and perfectly toasted. It was garlicky and full of flavor. The tomatoes were nice and ripe. And not too many onions.
The Brussels sprouts were my moms favorite. They had soooo much pancetta on them and they were nice and crispy. The cheese manicotti was also really good, I just wish there was a little more sauce on it.
Obviously the portions were huge, so we had lots of leftovers to eat tomorrow.
Daniel was so nice. He asked if we were celebrating anything when he sat us down, and we let him know about my moms birthday and my promotion. We didn’t think anything of it, and when we were done with dinner he came over with some of the other staff with a birthday dessert and sang to us! It was a very nice experience. We will definitely be back soon.
Thank you!!!
