We came here after a long day at SeaWorld with the kids still in their swimsuits. Nobody cared. The veal piccata was unbelievable and the parking lot was right there. Best Italian we had all week.

After three days of theme park food, this was exactly what we needed. Real food, real atmosphere, and free parking right outside. The caprese was the freshest I have ever had.
