Good food, however the wait was too long, and the other people at my table did not receive the food they wanted. Other than that the atmosphere was nice.

The tomato sauce is the best we have had in a long time. Bread is crusty and fresh. The shrimp, fish, veal and chicken dishes were all tasty and tender.
Suggestion: add a veg to entrees. More

Fantastic food in a neat little corner of town. They worked with us on allergy concerns and offered to make several things dairy-free for my wife - she settled on the veal Marsala and loved it. Sitting outside on the patio and watching the evening passenger trains come through was really fun too! More
