Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was Delicious! My Family and I had Fried Calamari, Shrimp Francesca and Roasted Potates with Salad, Mixdd Veggies, Chicken Parm, Chicken Francese and Halibut and Mussels over Spaghetti. Food cooked perfect and very tasty! And the Tiramisu and Cappuccino for Dessert was Simply Delish!! This place never disappoints!
