Review from Jo-Ann S.

This place is run by an Eastern European couple who are very friendly. The decor is a bit wild but very different and cozy in its own way. I've been there a few times and enjoyed it every time. The food is quite good and can't remember ever having something I didn't like. In fact, we had our rehearsal dinner there for our wedding, we like it so much! Guests we had, contacted me later because they didn't remember the name of the restaurant and they wanted to go back and recommend it to others. Recommended!

It's good, I can't really give it extra points, nor can I take any away.

Feel-in really hungry and The Hubby and I thought we would come in for a bite, its kind of strange walking in I thought I was in some garden show.
Lots of Lattice arbours with plastic greenery. Fish nets hanging from the ceilings and paintings on the wall that are old ocean scenes. We were seated at a nice private booth next to a window with pretty white shear curtains and lots of Nick knacks around. It's kind of like, going to your crazy Aunt's House, ( if you ever had a crazy aunt) Our server came and asked us what we would like to drink, and lit our little candle on our table, very romantic, Italian music playing in the background.. I really had to pay attention to my server when she spoke, as she had a really strong accent, she also scared me because she wore really bright red lipstick out of the lipstick line , it reminded me of some horror movie when you see those older women, ie: the Betty Davis type that stare with the smear of red lipstick on their lips. HELP !!! But she was nice and became more friendly as the night went on, not all that helpful on what wine we should choose, so we had our usual beer. She brought us some complimentary bread with butter, and we gobbled that down in a hurry and then she asked if we wanted more, WELL YA. Soon after our order came we were on our second round of drinks, so service was kind of slow, by the time we ordered and then finally got our food. But that's OK cuz we had a good conversation so we really didn't notice the time lapse much at all.
I had the Cheese filled Ravioli with pesto cream sauce, ($14.95) and my hubby had the Penne Alla Romana withe mushrooms and shrimp in a white cream sauce. ( $16.95) It was tasty and full of flavor, but I found the portions to be very small. I wanted more for what we paid. I'm talkin about a cup of pasta on our plates. We ordered Tiramisu for desert and we shared it, it was very good, but then again I've never had a bad Tiramisu ever. The bathroom is nice , very clean and tastefully decorated, nicer then some homes I've been in. The restaurant is very clean and cutlery and glassware is sparkly. All in All we had a nice quiet evening that was, kind of romantic, if I dare say.. I would recommend this to anyone , but just be aware of the somewhat scary waitress, and the small portions on the pasta. Look beyond that and you'll enjoy the romantic ambiance.
