My group of 6 girlfriends celebrated my birthday here! It was a wonderful choice, and we all enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

We stumbled upon this place and were so happy to have found it. It's a little out of the way, but a charming restaurant, with a family feel. The place was packed with Italians - always a good sign.
