Excellent modern American interpretation of Italian classics! Great service and a comfortable and welcoming ambiance! Good place for a few drinks as well!
Terri LoretoniOctober 7, 2012The Seasonal Risotto is excellent, one of my favorites. Anyone familiar with Artuso Bakery in the Bronx? It's where they get their cannolis from.
Katie M.May 19, 2013So good! Went here for my graduation dinner. The handmade ravioli was great, and the service was awesome!
Everything I have tried here is excellent, fresh and served with flair! Do you know that they make their own Mozzarella cheese...?- When Salmon is part of a special of the day - ask them for a "Dragon Caesar," Salmon on a Caesar salad
- Delicious beer selection! Steelhead Pale Ale, Steelhead Double IPA, HopDevil IPA, Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA...
Try their pan seared steak over fettucini w/ gargonzola when they offer this special.
- My favorite Friday night dinner spot! Their motto: Eat, Drink, Love and Laugh Read more
- Grilled steak salad is excellent! Great combo of flavors!
