Our server was excellent - professional, friendly and attentive. Ceasar and caprese salads were tasty and good for sharing. The chicken scallopini parmesan was quite dry and not very flavorful, and we were charged extra for requesting more sauce to help improve it; Probably should have just sent it back. Tagliatelle Bolognese was delicious. Complimentary tiramisu for the birthday girl was festive and delicious.

The food was delicious. I had an arugula salad with parmesan and candied pecans which was delicious. I had shrimp scampi for my entree which was very flavorful and well-seasoned. My friend had tomato soup and chicken parmigiana which was fantastic. Our server McKenzie was delightful and her service was excellent. I had a perfect old fashioned and my friend had a Zinfandel that was also excellent.
