    First time eating here – had tried many times before, but couldn’t get rid of the reservation or too long of a wait for a drop in. It was a great dinner – the happy hour prices for drinks and appetizers were a good value and great quality. My husband had a Paloma and I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Had the bruschetta for an appetizer which was very good- tomato was very fresh.  we split the Pasta Rossi and an Italian chopped salad, and it was perfect portions for the two of us.  The dressing on the Italian chopped salad was perfect – it was a really good salad overall. The Pasta Rossi was excellent. Both dishes were very well priced. I definitely would go back and probably get all the same food again!
