The restaurant was cozy and the lighting was nicely dimmed. The servers and staff were friendly and super easy to talk too! Made the experience much more relaxed.

I 100% will be returning. Food was amazing, I could totally tell they use high quality ingredients. The olive oil that came with the bread tasted so amazing, I can’t even put it into words. The atmosphere was super chill.

We came in to try the pizza week special, which unfortunately they were out of for the day. We got one of their regular pizza options and a small plate which were both delicious. We also had a flourless chocolate cake with ganache (pictured).

Delicious food. Beautifully plated. I wish the “seafood dishes” had more than the one entree. Proof of vaccination is required for indoor seating and reservations are highly recommended. The outdoor seating was very nice, covered, and heated and outdoor staff was very attentive. Also picture of the bathroom toilet because the seat is broken. Add 20 min to find parking and get to the restaurant once you’re there. Wonderful dining experience though.

I’ve eaten here several times. The menu has great meat and pasta options. The steak has consistently been a good meal here. The atmosphere is a nice blend of casual and classy. Servers are great at what they do.

Absolutely amazing! The steak bites were so juicy and tender, the flat bread made in house. Cocktails were magnificent. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would!

Pleasant atmosphere, good Italian food, especially pork ragu and goat cheese ravioli. It might be best to get goat ravioli as a small plate to share as it may be too heavy for a full meal on its own. Great cocktails and wine selection. We’ll definitely be back!

I made reservations several days in advance to eat here for a party of 3. Food was delicious! Not pictured are the goat cheese ravioli and deep fried cauliflower appetizers which didn’t stand much of a chance with the 3 of us. Gone in minutes! For entrees I had the prime bavette steak, medium rare, which was cooked perfectly. The mushroom glaze and mash made the dish complete. Other meals pictured are the seared salmon with risotto and a pasta pork dish. Definitely would go back, only with reservations. The space is small but cozy. They have a 20 spot parking lot around the building otherwise parking on 21st is a crapshoot!
