We’ve been wanting to try this place and thought a birthday celebration would be perfect. It’s not everyday that you get to eat at a restaurant where you don’t know the menu and everything goes perfectly together! The service was top notch and the food was delicious!! The homemade pasta was my favorite!

It’s not a “restaurant”…it’s an art studio! It’s not dining, it’s an culinary experience! It started when we made the reservation and continued with entering the elegantly decorated room and finished when we left highly impressed.

My husband and I dined on a Thursday evening. We arrived earlier than our 6:15 reservation, but the doors were locked. We sat on the outside chairs until our time. The staff came out to apologize because they were not ready to open and offered water on this hot evening. That was the beginning of a memorable experience. The staff was highly attentive. A utensil dropped off the table when my menu moved. Instinctively, my husband looked down and within seconds staff came with a replacement. That type of attention is a rare occurrence in dining today. The food was nourishing even a bit unusual yet deliciously prepared. Although we usually order only entrees, this five course meal left us a tiny over full. The music was energetic and the voice level was low creating an enjoyable atmosphere. We would love to dine here more often, but the online reservations disappear shortly after they appear.

I wanted to love it but it was all complicated. Starting with making reservations. Even the instructions on the website are complicated. The service was complicated – 5 different staff members tripping over each other to serve and clear. It was intrusive in the small space. One staff member for each table is all that is needed. It would promote intimacy and allow diners to feel as if they had someone devoted to assuring their enjoyment. The meal – complicated and heavy. The starter was a spinach and cheese fritter. Very heavy for an amuse bouche. Also complicated as the server said we were meant to pull it apart and eat it with our fingers. I felt it was very short sighted of the chef to assume guests who’ve dressed up for dinner at an elite restaurant would want to eat greasy finger food. The salad course was a bowl of plain radiccio leaves served along side a plate of duck breast and plums. This was was also complicated. Was I to eat them separately or combine them on my plate? Were they one thing or two? The stuffed pasta course was perfectly created, but again heavy with cream, truffle, and cheese. The meat course was a very large steak (flat iron?). It was a perfectly cooked steak, but unfortunately, very fatty then topped with a smoky peppery cream sauce. There just was no balance during the meal. No vinegar. No umami. No palate cleanser. It was very one note – heavy and fatty. Portions were unnecessarily large. This is a gem in West Chester but there is so much competition in the Philadelphia/New York region. The meal was good and maybe the chef has amazing flavors planned for future meals but the complicated reservation system, will make developing a loyal clientele very difficult.

It’s been years since I’ve been back, and sadly it’ll probably be the last time. The staff was very attentive and the restaurant beautiful. However, nothing about this New American cuisine could have been described as above average.

Delightful and creative—a beautiful culinary dance! This restaurant is an exceptional experience and one of the best meals we have ever had. We keep coming back to taste the chef’s creations. Brilliant wine pairings, too!

This is a gem of a restaurant and I encourage anyone local or passing through (I’m from Dallas, TX) to take the time to scout out a reservation and indulge in an incredible experience.

I feel like something’s gone wrong in the kitchen here, compared to some previous meals we’ve had here. It was wrong enough that it didn’t just feel like an off night. First course was a rock shrimp salad that felt like a summer dish served in late winter, but it was also just not very interesting or distinctive tasting–and it was a big dump of the salad on a piece of bread in a way that wasn’t a terribly attractive presentation.

Of course our first indoor dining experience after popping our COVID bubble had to be Andiario, As always met and exceeded our expectations. Fresh local ingredients , detailed execution and just delicious. A “foodies” nirvana, not a cheap night out but worth every penny. Best carrots I ever have had and the pasta with squab was so flavorful.
