    A lovely space for great food. Some of the tables, however, are not well placed (e.g. next to the door to the work area). Waiters were gracious and accommodating- a real plus these days. The lasagna was interesting; the burrata not so much although the mozzarella was very nice. Will return.

    We had charred okra, the Mediterranean salad and a pepperoni pizza. All were delicious. Service was excellent, perfect amount of time between drinks, appetizer, salad and meal. Waiter was attentive but we did not feel rushed. Only complaint is the tables are very close together and as it gets busier it becomes very loud. Would recommend earlier reservation if you wanted to avoid that. We will definitely be back!
