    Service was outstanding. But food was horrid! I had chicken Marsala and it clearly wasn’t Marsala. It was a white/gravy sauce that has absolutely no taste and certainly no infusion of Marsala. My sister had risotto with scallops. Very disappointing. While each dish should have had different flavors they tasted exactly the same. This restaurant had high reviews. Very misleading and disappointing. The first clue should have been arriving to the restaurant at 6:40 on a Thursday and the restaurant was empty. That is NOT a good sign

    We had an incredible dining experience at this Italian gem. The food was outstanding and full of flavor. The cheese wheel truffle fettuccine was a standout. Rich and aromatic, yet light and cooked to absolute perfection. The linguine vongole was equally impressive, with fresh seafood that was flavorful, and beautifully executed. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the service. Felix, was exceptional. He was very warm, welcoming, always smiled and was unbelievably attentive despite being the only server for the night. He struck the perfect balance of being present without hovering, and his recommendations were spot on. Felix made us feel welcome and well taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for amazing Italian cuisine with service to match. Looking forward to our next dinner there!

    This was the most delicious pasta we’ve had since Italy. The bolognese is to die for and the paninis were equally amazing. Very cute ambiance, super attentive servers… A plus!

    I think I was Italian in another life…Excellent meal and overall experience! I had the sunset dinner—appetizer, entree, dessert—$40. I had the red beet salad, Lasagna, and Tiramisu 😋 Great deal and amazing food. The owner, Andrea is very attentive and kind. The lasagna was exceptional! Ambiance is lovely. I highly recommend going and enjoying authentic Italian cuisine.

    Amazing and Authentic Italian Food, I thought I was dining in Italy! Outstanding customer service. Our server Isa was wonderful, had great recommendations. She did a fantastic job helping us celebrate my wife’s birthday with a special dessert. We will be back!

    Food was well prepared. Menu was comprised primarily of Italian dishes Americans like. It needs more vegetarian options

    Quiet night with few people, until one fairly loud couple was enjoying the evening right next to us. Enjoyed a spectacular appetizer and the entree was tasty but fairly ordinary. Service very personable.
