The 13 Best Italian Restaurants In Las Vegas

"Some of the restaurants on this list have massive dining rooms where dinner can become a party after a couple glasses of wine. Azzurra is the opposite, with its tiny dining room and intimate atmosphere, and that’s a big reason why we love it. Another reason? Dishes like meatballs bathed in bright marinara, thick-cut pork chops with sweet and tangy peppers, and whatever risotto they’re serving that day. If the weather isn’t too hot, try and grab a spot on the olive tree-lined patio. And for a fun date night activity, stop by their sister wine bar next door to pick up a bottle for dinner—you’ll get a waived corkage fee at the main restaurant.  " - emmy kasten

An Italian Restaurant and New Breakfast Spots Are Coming to Henderson - Eater Vegas

"A new Italian restaurant is opening on South Water Street in downtown Henderson. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Azzurra Cucina Italiana is set to open in February as a new restaurant that shares DNA with the now-shuttered Henderson restaurant Bratalian Neapolitan Cantina. Azzurra owner Windom Kimsey had been a regular at Bratalian, where Alessandra Madeira was chef de cuisine and husband, Walter Ciccone, was general manager. The three became friends and Kimsey recruited the husband-wife duo to join Azzurra." - Janna Karel

Great food, unrefined service, but they mean well and seem to care. This ain't no red sauce place- you'll find some interesting things on the menu such as a grilled octopus plate, beautiful baby clams and mussels served in a broth that could stand up all on it's own as a meal. But you'll have to buy the bread.

Great little place on Water Street...... food was really great and our server very attentive. For what we had i thought it was a little pricey for the location. We don't drink so all we had were two salads and two entrees with the special fish of the day, no sides or other appetizers and no soft drinks. Our bill was $160 before the tip. Turns out the Chilean Sea Bass was $60 and we both had it. It was a large portion and very good.....i just felt it was a bit pricey for the location. I did notice the entrees on the menu were more in the normal range you would expect from a local restaurant. We will definitely be back.

We had a delightful dinner at Azzurra Cucina Italiana over on Water Street, Henderson Nevada, last night. It is a small, intimate yet casual restaurant that requires reservations. The décor is best described as fun and lively. The menu is surprisingly extensive. The food in a word is exquisite. Our server Carlos was very personable and offered excellent suggestions for our first time being there. We began with one of their Cucumber Martinis, which was perfect, as was their Pinot Grigio. For starters we enjoyed the Fried Calamari that was super tender, lightly breaded and so fresh tasting. We also had the Arugula and Pear Salad that was nicely matched with a vinaigrette dressing. For mains we had the Chilean Sea Bass and Veal Saltimbocca. These were both heavenly! So beautifully prepared and tasty. Though we hardly had room, we ordered the Tiramisu and we were so glad we did. It was amongst the best we have ever had. Executive Chef Alessandra skill came through on every dish and certainly matches the best we have had at top LV resort restaurants. Kudos to the entire team. We will certainly be back!

My absolute new favorite place! Wow, what an experience! Here are the details: Chose this place from those gorgeous photos on their website, looked so yummy. Completely missed the part about needing reservations, yes, it’s written on the website multiple times in big red letters. I was so excited that I missed that part. Reservations required is also written on the doors when you arrive, this part is very important. They couldn’t possibly be more clear about that part so please ensure you do that. As luck was on our side that evening, they were able to find a spot at the bar for us with a short wait. We were greeted by a wonderful host (owner) who was very friendly and welcoming. The bar staff was so friendly, answered so many questions we had and interacted with us the entire time. We had awesome patrons to our left, those ladies taught us so much about the place. (Hello ladies, hope to see you guys there again!) The atmosphere reminds me of restaurants in other countries. Yes, they are small with a great vibe. Like Rome, New York and Tokyo. Small and quaint, gives it a more personal dining experience. You can see the kitchen from the bar and it was part of my entertainment to watch how they made everything. The food look so beautiful and the taste was soooo yummy. It was beyond just sitting down, eating food and leaving. Each taste is savored, so good!! It was a nice treat to meet the chef outside on our way out. I’m sure she hears this all the time but wow, the food is amazing and the family atmosphere is something that will keep us coming back. This felt like a mini vacation in some European country. Just loved this place! Thank you for the service, great food and fantastic staff.

Atmosphere is upscale and very nice decor. Service was wonderful, and waiter was very pleasant and knowledgable of the menu and days specials. Food was very good, as we usually eat at a Vegas restaurant we changed it up and tried this place out instead. Risotto was amazing, fresh bread is good, truffle fries were good, and Burrata salad was small but delicious. I got the chicken parm, and others got the gnocchi bolognese, and the hangar steak with mash potato’s. We were all pleased with the dishes, and everything was cooked perfectly. Would definitely go back. ;)

It’s the small cozy feel, the lovely and talented family-feel service, the quality ingredients, the paired drinks, and the absolutely mouth watering cuisine. Try the market fish. I trust that it’ll knock your socks off. Also try the burrata salad, yum!

While driving around downtown Henderson contemplating dinner options, my boyfriend and I came across Azzurra. I quickly looked on Yelp and saw they had a full 5-star rating so we parked and walked in. Turns out, it's a small restaurant so you must book in advance to snag a table (reservations only). Sadly, we had to go elsewhere that evening but vowed to return, with reservations! We ended up booking a late dinner for my birthday. Our table was ready when we arrived, we were greeted and seated immediately. While the indoor dining space is small, it's cozy, classy - not cramped, not too loud. The vibe is cheerful and airy... clinking glasses, animated conversations, and delicious smells wafting from the kitchen combine to make for a delightful evening. Of course, we began with cocktails. I ordered the smoked old fashioned which was excellent. My boyfriend ordered a regular old fashioned that was equally good. I can't remember what my daughter ordered but she liked it enough to order a second. They have a nice wine selection however we opted out this time. We shared the Buffalo Cauliflower appetizer and unfortunately, didn't care for the flavors. We typically love fried cauliflower and my daughter loves everything "buffalo" so I was surprised we didn't finish it - not sure if it was us or the dish. Next time we'll go with the antipasto. For the mains, my daughter ordered the Chicken Parm which was perfect and beautifully plated. My boyfriend got the pork chop, expertly seasoned but slightly dry. I chose the Steak Sebastian, a bacon wrapped filet with risotto, both tasty but again, the steak was a bit dry and tough which I thought odd - not worth complaining about. They brought out a little birthday dessert which was fun, lightly sweet and tart, although I couldn't tell you what it was. It was a fun way to end the night. This is a true "fine dining" establishment which elevates the Water Street district, a welcome addition to downtown's bar/diner/comfort food offerings! Our waiter was a hoot, he made our first visit extra enjoyable. I look forward to trying other dishes and cocktails I spotted on the menu. They've got a beautiful outdoor patio and bar that we'll certainly make use of, once the temperature drops.

This little hidden gem in Henderson is our new favorite Restaurant! We didn't have a reservation but the Maitre D' offered us 2 seats to dine at the bar. What a wonderful birthday experience! The Bartender was personable and gave me a complimentary bday cake!! The whole bar sang to me! But the bet part of our experience was the amazing cuisine! We started with perfect calamari and delectable grilled octopus. I ordered the pork chop as it was highly recommended and my first choice, the bone-in veal piccata was 86ed. My partner had the halibut. Neither entrees disappointed. The owner is the chef and I believe the Maitre D' is her husband. The atmosphere was wonderful, bustling and upbeat. We can't wait to return! Love everything about Azzurra!!

Great food and service! Good quality and generous portions. I ordered the chicken parmigiana dinner. I got a few meals out of the leftovers. My husband got a shrimp dish. They were a good size and cooked perfect. Check them out if you haven't been, but make sure you make a reservation!

Absolutely wonderful!!! First the ambiance is very comforting and intimate. They also have a lil section for Al fresco dinning. Service is spot on ! They don't overwhelm you with constant visits but observing if you may need anything! Now the star of the show the food!!! AMAZING!!! The chicken Marcella was delicious. My friend had the Bronzino with the butter sauce on the side just the bronze alone without the sauce was delicious. For a side I had a zucchini spaghetti noodles. That was amazing as well. If you're looking for a nice place to have a "date night" or just wanna have a nice dinner. This is definitely the place. My only negative comment is that this is in deep Henderson on Water Street and I live in Summerlin. But let me tell you to make that drive was worth it. Check this place out you might like it!

Showed up on a Friday night without a reservation and was very graciously seated promptly . Carlos was a WONDERFUL server who was kind and took his time explaining the daily specials to us . This is a small and quaint restaurant however it has good music and the atmosphere is cozy . The layout is well planned because it does not feel crammed Now the food . Everything was so amazing here- I got the linguine with clams with a side of mushroom and added it all together and it was delicious . They are also very generous with how many clams are in the pasta ! My husband had the penne vodka pasta and he ate every last bite and said it was phenomenal . We will definitely be back !!

This is a small restaurant. It's fantastic food. We arrived in Las Vegas area at a long drive up from Los Angeles open up until Las Vegas in over 40 years so if finding a place to eat or it's not easy I remember a friend advised years ago that said to look for restaurants in the neighbors hoods away from the strip, so I let my finger to the walking and found this restaurant I was told it was reservations, only which is clearly marked on their doors, but to come in, and they most likely get us a couple of seats at the bar we were seated almost immediately after parking her car on the street. I can't say more about the friendliness of this staff The owner made you feel at home and has a great sense of humor Molly it took our is from our area and he just had moved up here. The two of us happened to find the dishes that we love the most right on the menu. We had a linguine And red sauce with fresh clams made perfectly and my overall favorite is cioppino, which had piles of fish on top and a fantastic red broth. The food was so good. We really wanted to figure a way up coming back in our short visit again this place hit the mark on food service in ambience.

My in-laws wanted to take us out to dinner. I had really wanted to try Azzurra Cucina Italiana. We got a 4:15 reservation because all other times were already booked. Since they open at 4:00 pm, the restaurant was not full when we arrived. It's a small restaurant but they also have outdoor seating. Reservations are pretty much required. We were seated promptly. David was our waiter and he was great. We started with fried calamari and a bottle of Pinot Noir and their bread basket ($5). The fried calamari and julienne zucchini was so delicious....light, airy, and delicious. The house made focaccia was delicious. My husband and I shared the salad special (with Gorgonzola cheese, pear slices and candied walnuts). It was really good. I ordered a special, Steak Sebastian.... A petite Filet Mignon on a bed of perfectly cooked risotto. It was the best. My husband and father in law both had the Black squid ink Frutti de Mare. Mom in law had linguine and clams. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. For dessert we got one order of chocolate covered spumoni and a tiramisu. Both were good but the highlight was the main meal. We all would definately return to Azzurra Cucina Italiano.

What a great new Italian spot in downtown Henderson! You can only dine here by reservation. It's small and quaint, but still fun and trendy. Our server made us feel very welcomed and took very good care of us. We ordered the chicken Parmesan, the Seabass special, the shrimp risotto special, and the meat of the day. My dish was the shrimp risotto. The shrimp were jumbo and very tasty. The risotto was cooked perfectly, which is hard to find in a good risotto dish sometimes. it was my friend's birthday so they also provided a piece of their house cheesecake, which was also amazing. I'll definitely be coming here again

The food was absolutely amazing. All of our dishes were flavored and came out hot. It is a very small place but the atmosphere was great! The service was spot on and our waiter was very attentive and nice. You have to make a reservation but it is worth every penny. Next time we come back to Vegas, we will be stopping here.

Omg - awesome experience!!! Foods amazing, service is wonderful and the atmosphere wow. Highly recommend, but it is small and reservations is a must - even during the week day evenings. Can't wait to try the wine bar next door which is part of their place. Walked in and very warm and welcoming. Thinking for the travel group for a fun evening!! Thank you- we will be back!

Came here for dinner. Remember to make reservation early here. Nice menu. Small but intimate restaurant. $5 for bread basket. Caesar salad quite good. Entrees included Salmon, Halibut, Chicken parmigiana and shrimp scampi. Each dish was very good and came out hot. Service was very good and reasonable prices.

The restaurant was extremely busy, which is typically a good thing. My server was very friendly, all front of house. Staff were extremely attentive, including the general manager. The scampi my mom had was amazing, I love the sauce a lot. The lemon cheesecake was not sweet at all, you could barely call it a dessert, but it was good nonetheless. The tiramisu was amazing a little heavy on the cream for my taste, but it was a very good tiramisu. I really enjoyed my chicken Parm it was a huge portion, and the spaghetti sauce was good as well. The calamari was absolutely amazing and I really liked the marinara sauce they had to dip. We also ate the salad special of the day, which was arugula, blue cheese, and candy. Nuts. It was light and delicious. The restaurant was busy and lively, and I would definitely come back.

Azzurra has been on my list for a while but it's reservation only and a popular place so I kept missing out on a weekend. We decided to do a Tuesday night date night and I was finally able to make a reservation at the time we like to eat. It is a small place. Reviewers keep saying "intimate" because it is. You will be intimately introduced to your fellow patrons. Now I am not complaining, I just know I like to be aware for my own anxiety, so if it helps one person reading this, then I've done my job. I also love listening to others conversations, so the closer the better. I very much loved how this place is decorated, the use of space and the quality of the furnishings, but it is tight in here. I am overweight and I absolutely had the anxiety that I was going to bump every single diner as I passed them (we were seated at the very back by the bathrooms.) Others seemed to feel the same because as "normal"/skinny/fit people passed, they apologize profusely but honestly, they didn't touch us and I didn't bump anyone's wine glass off the table with my large derriere so it was fine. Now on to the important issues. The food and drink. First, cocktail menu and wine list are great. There were 3 different cocktails I NEEDED to try but I haven't had a cucumber martini in quite some time. Their variation was lovely and packed quite the punch. Definitely would order again. Every single dish we ordered was amazing. The flavors and the portion sizing here are on point. The calamari was so good, it didn't need a sauce, and I loved the inclusion of the zucchini. 10/10! Also, we had a meat of the day that was a filet wrapped in prosciutto on a bed of risotto with a red wine mushroom sauce. Oh my! Even though I prefer meat a little more rare than we got it, 15/10! Yes, it was THAT good. Shout out to the tiramisu too. Great version! And last but certainly not least, the service. Our server was fan-freaking-tastic. Always around to make sure we were good and defintiely gave great recommendations. I loved that the manager came by and touched our table not once, but twice. They care here. I love that.

We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and decided to check out Azzurra for our dinner. The reviews on here didn't do the restaurant justice at all. The staff were so friendly and attentive, the drinks were tasty, strong but well balanced, the bread and Caesar Salad were both so good. My wife got the Capellini Scampi (She couldn't have been happier with her dish) and I got the Chicken Marsala with capellini (though it came out with the mashed potatoes but the kitchen made it right by having a separate bowl of the capellini come out). The chicken Marsala was very very good and unlike any chicken Marsala I have had previously. The restaurant is super cute with an upscale feel. Overall we could not have asked for a better 1st anniversary dinner restaurant and are strongly considering making Azzurra our annual anniversary dinner spot. Thank you everyone at Azzurra for a great experience.

Every so often, you stumble across an experience that emotionally moves you and affects you indelibly. On one of my first occasions to stay an extended period of time in Henderson, I requested that the concierge where I was staying recommend a restaurant whose food would change my religion. Without hesitation, the staff recommended Azzurra. Within walking distance of the Atwell suites, I had one of those experiences. Molly recommended the Grilled Octopus and the Linguini Clams. Everything about this experience was beyond expectations. Molly the hostess/bartender and trusted curator of the Azzurra menu (way more than a mortal bartender/hostess) was an instant friend. Alessandra, the executive chef, was a force of culinary nature in the kitchen and Walter, the glue that holds it all together was a conductor of this surreal symphony. Azzurra is simply the Opus Magnum of this team of professionals and I was the humble beneficiary of their efforts. I am forever a grateful patron and evangelist.

First of all! That place looks amazing! It reminds me of an upscale Laguna Beach type restaurant! Decor is modern contemporary. Service is excellent! Staff & owners are very friendly! They talk to you and want to make sure you are taken care of! The food is awesome! Everything is made from scratch! So tasty! Chef puts her heart & soul into every dish served. If you like sauces! this the place! My favorite dish is chicken Marcella the best! Am working my way down the menu. Must call for reservations! Always busy. Check them out.

Water Street's delicious Italian hidden gem! Book a reservation in advance because it's a tiny spot and people are finding out about them. I've had my eye on this spot for awhile. Then a friend dined here and spoke highly of it. So we made plans to meet for dinner during the holidays. I loved it so much that I made a reservation the next morning to return later that week. This time I returned with my parents and they also enjoyed it. Quite the compliment because they live in an area with plenty of good Italian restaurants. Parking can sometimes be tough in this area, but Azzurra has plenty of parking in the lot next to the restaurant. The restaurant is very intimate. A reservation is a must! It has a cozy, warm feel. The staff were all welcoming and it felt like a friendly, family atmosphere. Even though it's on the small side I didn't feel like the tables were too crowded together. It's not a quiet restaurant, but for people with good hearing it won't be too loud. The Cucumber Martini was so smooth and refreshing. A cocktail is a must here for those who enjoy them. The Arugula Salad was fresh with a light balsamic dressing, walnuts, and blue cheese. Two could share this. The Chicken Marsala and Chicken Parmesan were both excellent. They had excellent, fresh flavors. The portions were large too. I like that both dishes come with a side of pasta (or potatoes for the Marsala). I've enjoyed the Spumoni Tartufo and the Nutella Cheesecake. Both were excellent. The chocolate and ice cream were just so good on the Tartufo. I'm not a Nutella fan, but my toddler is so we shared this. Wow, I'm glad I ordered this because it was a really nice chocolate cheesecake. It wasn't too rich either. In a city with so many restaurants that you never need to repeat a visit, I find myself happy to come again and again.

Came here for Valentine's Day, and was amazed at the quality of the food and service! First things first, it's reservations only, so we were happy to not see a crowded waiting area. This was nestled in a quiet area, and street parking wasn't too bad. The food was delicious and our server was great! Would come back again!

Everyone we know that has gone has said nothing but good things. We went for our anniversary and we loved the experience! It's a very small intimate restaurant and reservations are required. We made our reservation right at 4 when they opened. They have a good happy hour menu with food and drinks from 4-6 daily so even on a Saturday night when we went. Our server was the most friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and was so attentive and kind. The food came out quickly and was so fresh and delicious. We absolutely loved every single dish we ordered. The flavor was there and you can taste the passion and craft the chef has. Would absolutely order it all again. Because it was our anniversary they gifted us a dessert on the house which was so thoughtful. Honestly the best tiramisu I've had to date was here, no joke. Love this little Henderson gem and can't wait to be back for more!

Azzurra is one of those hidden gems. You want to tell the world but not too many Lol. We didn't come with reservations so we sat at the bar. But that didn't stop them from providing top notch service and a wonderful experience. Beautiful restaurant, creative cocktails and food that is out of this world good. Looking for a light but still very tasty food experience, make reservations and just go here. You'll be compelled to write a review just like this one because you loved it.

This place was so much fun. It's reservation only, and so small and intimate inside. We arrived early for our reservation and was sat no problem. The server, David, gave us a run down of the menu and what the day's specials were. The list of specials was so long I think they need a menu for it, ha! Bread was a $5 up charge, which I always find a scam at any restaurant. But, this place was the real deal when it comes to food. I saw 2 chefs and they worked it all night long. I got the squid linguine and it was delicious I ate the entire plate. My family was shocked I finished a meal because I love leftovers. My fiance got the daily special, filet mignon wrapped in prosciutto with Parmesan risotto. It was amazing! We also got the biggest meatballs we've ever seen with a spaghetti and meatballs. The owner/manager checked in and the entire staff made us feel so welcome. While this place felt very fancy, the staff felt organic and they were being themselves. David surprised us with a complimentary dessert for my birthday, which we put on the reservation and never mentioned again. This place was great all around and we will definitely be returning!

To the table of 4 next to us tonight that hadn't even ordered their food yet, pull the stick out of your a** and show some respect and appreciation to the amazing staff. We ordered multiple appetizers, the Buffalo chicken and risotto, the gnocchi, and meatballs. All were hot and delicious. We also ordered 4 different entrees, steak, the risotto special, branzino and pork chops. All were exceptionally good. Everything was reasonably priced. The staff was extremely friendly and happy hour specials were much appreciated. Would definitely recommend for any occasion.

Looking for an Italian place and fellow yelpers did not disappoint. This place is DELICIOUS. The restaurant is quaint with about 9 tables and seating at the bar. The decor was nice and welcoming. You must have reservations, which I was able to get a couple hours before I arrived on open table. We were seated within minutes. We had a trio of waiters that helped, one with ordering and water and the other two brought out food. The service was very friendly and attentive. We ordered: 1) Bread basket with seasoned butter for $5 - 5/5 so good 2) Caesar Salad 4/5 3) Linguine and clams- 5/5 - SO delectable, the dish was hot, the white wine sauce delicious, the 12 clams were plump and juicy and the noodles perfectly al dente. The waiter also brought out an empty dish for my clam shells. 4) Spaghetti with meatballs 5/5 - very tasty, al dente noodles in a rich sauce, delicious meatballs the size of tennis balls. 5) Pan cotta with passion fruit - 4/5 This restaurant is a gem. Will definitely return if in the area.

Absolutely phenomenal!!! I spent 3 days in Las Vegas recently and the best meal I had was at Azzurra in Henderson. The ambiance was modern and lively with an open kitchen, beautifully decorated and clean as can be. Just a beautiful space overall... Full bar with hand crafted cocktails and a wonderfully curated wine list to boot. When it came to the food I was blown away by the apps to begin with. The lobster salad was to die for. Super fresh and the flavors just sang a chorus together. The best calamari I've had in years came next. The chicken parmesan (pictured) was to die for. Perfectly breaded and fried. Just the right amount of cheese and amazing pasta to boot. This wasn't grandma's old school, doughy chicken parm - it was a modern take and delightfully crafted. Other diners at our table got the double cut pork chop - AMAZING! Same with the duck. Perfectly crispy skin, flavors that make your mouth water and perfect texture. Such a wonderful night / experience. From the flavors, to the hospitality and everything in between. Far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning to Azzurrra. Quite possibly the best Italian food in Southern Nevada!!! BRAVO...

Cute little spot on water street. This place has limited seating so it is reservations only. We made the mistake on coming without one. It kinda reminds me of a restaurant that would be attached to a hotel. Menu is condensed but many options, hard to choose. We lucked out and happen to come during Happy Hour. It was hard not to order everything on that menu but we just about ordered half of it. The chicken drumettes was one of our favs on the HH menu. So flavorful and was sitting on top of buttery risotto. The penne alla vodka was also a treat, very simple but well cooked. The staff were also pretty amazing. They checked constantly and had many great recommendations. They have outdoor seating as well which would be perfect on a cool day. Will be returning soon!

We took mom here for Mother's Day' and so glad we did. Made reservation for 4 PM when they opened because really the next available was much later, this was on Monday after Mother's Day, what I'm saying is reserve a few days ahead of time. The service and the food were amazing. We had the Calamari and the meatballs as an appetizer as well as everything in the picture. The meatballs were some of the best I've ever had. . The bread basket, yum!! All in all great experience, will be back!!

Hands down one of the best and most authentic Italian places in Henderson-LV area. Pros - very intimate and modern design with outdoor and indoor seating. The place is on the smaller side and always packed so make sure to get a reservation. Super friendly staff and owners. The meatballs are packed with flavor and a must-try appetizer for everyone. We even ordered extra to take home. The pastas are handmade and have the proper bounce and texture. They have a special risotto, meal, and fish of the day that aways rotates. The squid ink costa di mare is a classic with a well seasoned tomato-based sauce. Cons - none! Definitely check this place out if you are a fan of authentic delicious Italian cuisine. We will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu items.

Food was very average, drinks were good, environment was good but not the service. We tarted with the calamari which me and my husband enjoyed. But our entrees were not good, I ordered squid ink linguini frutti di mare, the pasta was very average but the mussels were not FRESH! I ate two mussels were tasted bad, so I told my waiter about it, and he said " oh no ~ sorry to heard about it" . After that I saw he walked to the kitchen, talked to the chief, but since that he never came back or say anything! Another waiter helped about our check. I was pretty disappointed. Most likely will not be returning.

Darlene and I did a date night tonight at Azzurra Curcina Italiaina in Henderson. Both of us had the beet salad and risotto with scallops. 5 stars for everything. Better than any Strip restaurant that we have eaten at since we moved here in 91. This was our second time here.

Such a cute hidden gem! I would gladly go there over and over again!! Our bartender Molly was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Chef Alessandra really knows her way around a kitchen. Happy hour food was nicely portioned and honestly so delicious. I can't stop thinking about this establishment. Will return promptly.

WOW! Food and service both in point! It was a great date night and the food did not disappoint. They have some awesome happy hour deals from 4-6. My favorite was actually the Buffalo chicken drummets on top on Parmesan risotto. The pictures tell the story, they taste as good as they look!! Staff was awesome. Made us feel at home!!! We will definitely be back!! Update**** came back again and we got the chicken parm and tiramisu. Chicken parm - delicious. It's chicken parm. Spaghetti sauce is delicious. Tiramisu. Tiramisu. Tiramisu. 100/100. Get it. You will NOT be disappointed.
