Things are looking promising for this new restaurant. Don't let the location make you think twice about trying it, it is in a strip mall but once you get inside you will forget all about that. They have decorated really well, added some walls, booths, crown molding, etc which makes for a nice ambience. The staff were all very nice and the server made some good recommendations. Ate here on a Friday night, not at all crowded but I'd expect that to change as the word spreads. The menu is pretty much the standard Italian fare like Chicken Picatta and other standbys. I'd recommend ordering one of the specials for the night if you can, because I found that the specials where creative and the chef does have talent. My husband ordered their Chicken Parm and it really paled in comparison to the Sea Bass I had. The Firecraker shrimp appetizer is really amazing as well, and it frankly was the best part of our meal. I've never had anything like this elsewhere. My entree was overly salty and that was my only complaint.
Pros: good specials, nice ambience, not crowded, nice staff
Cons: location
