" This place has a homey feel, like dining with family. The food was fresh and delicious, with my favorite being the osso bucco. The servers were friendly, creating a warm atmosphere. I appreciate the effort the staff puts into the experience. I’ll make it a point to return whenever I’m in Alexandria! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance here is lovely, a perfect backdrop for a family dinner or date night. However, my dish left me wanting. I had the seafood pasta, and while it was fresh, it didn't have much seasoning or depth. The service was friendly, but I expected more from a restaurant of this caliber. Perhaps my expectations were too high. " (*Curated Review*)
