We really appreciated the suggestions our server offered. The brussel sprouts were in particularly amazing. I wish that there was at least 1 vegan option for a main dish. I did do vegetarian which was my only option, except the only veg. main dish was spicy. So no, non spicy vegetarian and no vegan option. But if you eat everything Italian, you will love it.

Great food but pricey for the amount you get. Service was good. Ony mess up was the timing of the vegetables, which came very late after the main plates were served. They discounted the veggies and gave us free desserts. Very professional of them. Our group of six had a wonderful time.

Had a really good experience here, great ambience and our server was amazing. Wish I could remember her name but made awesome dish suggestions and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The portions are a little on the smaller side in my opinion but top quality with ingredients and flavour profiles. Ordered the rice balls, mussels pasta, Brussel sprouts 👍🏽

The food was delicious, the service was slow especially since we were seeing a show (we gave ourselves 1.5hrs to eat) otherwise we wouldn't have cared. If you are hungry make sure to order lots of food, the portions are super small especially the fine prix menu, we left still hungry.

My husband and I dined here for his birthday and we went to a Candlelight Concert afterwards. We chose this restaurant because of its proximity to the venue. My husband and I were so pleased with our meal, our server Pony, (unsure of spelling), and the atmosphere. Every course was delicious, presentation was impressive, and our server’s attention to detail and attentiveness made us feel well taken care of. We both would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone for any occasion. Thank you again!

The food was okay but nothing was spectacular. The best thing was the dessert, a Hazelnut chocolate cake, it was so good. The waitress had too many tables to serve so long wait for food and drinks. We seat at a table close to the windows so it was cold inside. I hope they can get better because the restaurant is beside the Paradise Theater, so it is a good option to go after the concert.
