Ugh. Expensive faux italian chain. Only good if you have a large group which includes Yankee that have never been to Italy.

Overall, very nice atmosphere and good food. The portions were large and the drinks heavy-handed! The room was a little loud, but I guess that's to be expected during season.

This is one of the best Italian food restaurants I have eaten in. It is a wonderful place to take the children. The salads are absolutely the greatest.

My husband and I went there for dinner. The service was great and so was the food. We had so much food left over and it was good the next day. I don't recommend it though as a place for children for dinner.
