We had a wonderful time here. We celebrated with 9 and had excellent service. The food was delicious. I’d recommend you start off with the Cast Iron Focaccia, try the Mama’s Meatballs they’re very good and the Steak Tar Tar was very tasty. They offer an Octopus appetizer and that was good as well. The drinks were great and a nice wine list. There’s also an outdoor seating area where you can grab a drink and an appetizer. We enjoyed our inside table. Thank you for the birthday slice, it was delicious .

Food is very good, interesting choices. Love their wine list! I would say it’s a hit pricey for the casual vibe of the restaurant. Same server as last time, he didn’t really do anything wrong, just has no personality & acts like it’s annoying that you sat in his section. Fun birthday experience but not sure we’ll be back.

Great atmosphere, restaurant is beautiful and clean. Food portions are on point, our server was very knowledgeable and helpful when choosing dishes and wine. I got the Rigatoni Bolognese, the flavor was fantastic, not too heavy and the sauce was delicious and not acidic. Tons of different menu and dessert options so everyone in your party will be happy, including the very picky eaters! Highly recommended!!

I went here for a birthday lunch and the service, particularly by Nicole, was phenomenal. The food was delicious and the experience made my birthday more special. The dessert treats were delicious and included a caramel cheesecake, pistachio, and fudge – all were good, but the caramel and pistachio were my favorites. The champagne was a nice touch to end a perfect lunch date. I would highly recommend the Rigatoni Tartufo.
