"This Italian restaurant is the best within a 40-mile radius! I have been a loyal customer since they first opened, and it has become a go-to spot for both my brother and me whenever we are in town. The food and service here are excellent. The kitchen takes great care in preparing each dish fresh to order, including the delectable garlic bread they serve. The garlic bread is one of the best I have ever had - soft, crispy, and perfectly baked. My go-to dish is the pappardelle vodka without prosciutto, as I am a vegetarian, and they are always happy to add mushrooms for me. The vodka sauce is one of the best I have ever tasted, and the pappardelle pasta is cooked to perfection. Just thinking about this place makes my mouth water. It is definitely a restaurant worth trying! The only downside is that, due to COVID, they are now only open in the evenings, which makes it difficult for us to visit in the afternoons when the kids are in school."

The portion sizes are small and the prices are high at this restaurant. I ordered the tortellini with grilled chicken breast and it cost $25 including tax, but before tip. I received a total of 8 tortellini and two 1/2 inch thick slices of chicken breast. Without the additional fees, this comes out to over $2.00 per small piece of tortellini. For the price of around $30 per plate, I would expect larger portions that could feed at least two people. If the portion size was increased to at least 12 tortellini, it would be more reasonable. At 16 tortellini, I would consider coming back weekly. I am giving this restaurant 2 stars because the food was at least very good. However, it is much too ex...
