    We had a great family dinner made most enjoyable by the accommodating staff members. They were attentive, patient, and most of all helpful. We found the meatball appetizer tasty - firm yet tender meat with a moderately spicy red sauce. The pepper fries appetizer was just ok. We wish the crostini was another standalone option. Pizza was great as was the pappardelle. The salmon spiedini skewer is a great add on to the Caesar salad and as an entree as well. Best thing on the menu. All-in-all a pleasant experience worth doing again.
