“Great venue but to be brutally honest the food was nothing to brag about. Red sauce a bit dull, the fettuccine bland, piccatta and veal missing something. Good food, just not on par with other Italian establishments.”

“Good Detroit style Italian food. The bread along with the olive oil balsamic vinegar dipping sauce was a bit of a disappointment. Balsamic clearly to acidic. And no seasoning.”
