Wonderful experience. Food was delicious and I. Good proportions. I would recommend the Calamari. The NY Strip (non aged) was cooked to perfection and so tender. I was there with a business colleague. We sat outside and did have one homeless man come up to our table asking for for food. Just be aware.

The ambiance is very nice and lovely, there was live piano music. We had meatballs, lobster arancini, and garlic knots for appetizers. We had pizza and braised short ribs for dinner. The food was delicious and the service was great! We will definitely come back here again!!
