Hidden neighborhood gem. We have been here a few times and it’s consistently amazing. Delicious food and attentive service. It’s quiet and romantic. It’s also family friendly, I have seen families here with kids and the staff has been so accommodating and kind to family dining. Just order anything from the menu and you will be pleased. We LOVED our dinner. We ordered dessert but ate it before I could take a picture. So grateful we have this amazing restaurant in our neighborhood!

A northern Italian tribute, this restaurant is unique in its specificity. While a little off the beaten path there’s a lot to offer. We sat on the back patio which is absolutely perfect for a cool summer day or even better as we head into fall with their little cast iron stove to provide a comforting heat blanket. The diver scallops absolutely blew our mind. To the point we were ordering extra bread just to sop up what leftover sauce we could salvage. Had it been acceptable I would have drank straight from the pate! From there we went with a delicious yet not overly rich risotto and a much room pasta which shouted of its freshness. Oh, and the donut zeppelin at the end was the best throwback combination of a state fair sugar waffle. A quaint Italian eatery that will be a more unique date location than some of the oft talked about alternatives.

Don’t go if you’re vegan. The server was initially nice but the presentation and timing of the dishes/ drinks were terrible. The garden is a very pleasant setting but completely outweighed by the unbelievably bad service and overpriced steamed spinach. I left hungrier than I arrived and don’t order the olives bc they are a just a small bowl of jarred grocery store cerignola olives

The wine and service was fantastic. That’s where the price point ends.

Cute and cozy Italian restaurant. It is great for special occasions. We went for our anniversary and sat in the back covered patio. It was cute and quiet and the food was great.

Simply put, comfortable and amazing. The food was some of the best Italian food that I’ve had. I wiped my plate clean…literally. Cozy atmosphere that’s perfect to bring a date, your friends, or your family and forget what time it is. Thank you for a wonderful night!
