We brought a large group of family to Paulo and Bill's last Saturday evening for a graduation celebration!!! They were so accommodating and helpful!!! They knew we were in a time crunch and they did an excellent job of bringing out our food in a timely manner!!! Our wonderful server already had waters on the table and took excellent care of us!!! She was so responsive and before we could ask for anything she just appeared with refills or whatever we needed!!!The food was Fantastic as always!!! They truly helped make this a wonderful celebration!!!! I've been dining here since they opened and honestly their high standards have never wavered!! Our favorites are the garlic bread, coconut fried chicken salad and of course the brownie wrapped in phyllo dough!!!!

Best EVER garlic bread!!!! Literally made my day! Ha! That pesto garlic dipping sauce was divine with that perfectly cooked bread. I got a yummy delicious HUGE plate of bowtie chicken, enough for lunch tomorrow as well. One son got Sicilian pizza, good (not really spicy as listed) but also plenty for leftovers. Other son got lasagna, also good and husband got a beef pasta.... deburgo, very spicy, perfect for his taste. Nice that the calamari came with both warm marinara and cool lemon aioli, as my family was split on preference, but stealing garlic bread almost resulted in a fork in the hand! Only disappointment was that sweet tea came as tea with sugar packets, which any tea lover knows doesn't dissolve well when tea is cold and... my husband was asked if he wanted parmesan cheese and pepper on his meal but when server came back she said that the parmesan "hadn't been taken out yet," asking if just black pepper was okay? What? An odd comment...as if he wasn't worthy of getting the cheese out after he was asked. Otherwise, we were overall pleased with our experience.

Wonderful Restaurant with a great layout and very warm and attentive staff. The Menu offers a good selection of Italian and traditional items. Highly recommend!

Celebrating our mother's 98th birthday.4 of us had another wonderful experience here.I had 2 pork chops that were excellent. Salmon was excellent. Everything was excellent.Server was very attentive without being overbearing.Carrot cake also was excellent ?.Of course we will be back.

We loved our experience. A couple of hungry out-of-towners with naughty over-tired little kids looking for a place to eat. This is more of an upscale place and we kind of impulsively stumbled in, but the staff was so accommodating and did not make us feel bad for having little kids in a fancy place. Too bad we don’t live nearby to come back for an actual date! Food was tasty and beautiful. Our server Taylor was sweet and prompt. Everyone was helpful and kind.

Food was excellent with good presentation and portion size. The wait staff was attentive to our needs without being intrusive. It was a very nice evening for our book club. Will visit again soon!

1st visit. Food was great - hot and fresh. Prices very reasonable. Environment and atmosphere was family oriented and tables spacious. Ample parking. Service was so-so with water glasses not kept filled (minus one star).

Won’t be back.The staff was friendly and very quick. Though, there were so many people taking care of us for drinks, food delivery, salt/pepper/Parmesan cheese—that we didn’t know who exactly was our designated server.The food doesn’t have good enough quality for the price tag. Ordered the calamari and sent it back due to being very tough/chewy. The second plate of calamari was equally inedible. Chicken Marsala is not the typical light brown sauce with mushrooms but a dark brown, nearly black—very thick sauce. Very overpowering. The Sicilian Pizza comes with whole cloves of garlic on it, and it is spicy sauce (which the menu warns about) but being brick oven pizza, it shouldn’t have had crust that was not crisp like it did. Each dish had something that wasn’t quite right. Overpriced. Overall—won’t be returning.

The wife and I like trying new and different restaurants when we go out.The menu is simple, and expensive. Pasta is pricey, and to add meat, you’d need to sell a child…..We opted for apps and desert. Garlic bread is bland, and desert was decent, but still nothing to write home about…. And I like to write home about the places I visit…..Will we be back….. eh….. well….. probably not….

Food was phenomenal, as normal. A bit disappointing when we were there before 6 and was told they were out of garlic bread already, so we asked if they were working to get more but was told no, no garlic bread for the evening. Then told us the mixer for mixing drinks was broken, we said ok and ordered wine. Became VERY disappointed when we saw other patrons getting garlic bread before our dinners were finished. When we pointed it out, they did compensate us with a free appetizers on our next visit.
