Nice atmosphere. Restaurant caught our attention, since once again, it was the only one busy in the gas lamp at 6 pm on Tuesday night. Our waiter David was outstanding. Started with a shrimp and scampi appetizer - $18, but was outstanding. For dinner we had lobster ravoli and veal parmesan - both great. Total bill was $120 without tip,... more

Decent Italian but kinda expensive. I guess probably because of its location. more

You're right in the heart... more

My family is very traditional italian and don't like eating out. they loved this place. more
