This was my first time here and the food did not disappoint. I booked the day before so there were only high-top tables available downstairs. Upstairs they have regular height dining. It was very busy but our server, Tina, gave us a little background on the restaurant and gave us some recommendations after inquiring. The cheese courses/appetizers were very good. The mains were very flavorful, and of course the gelato was amazing. Lots of flavors to temp you. Overall I would definitely recommend you try it out.

We had a wonderful dinner and a very lovely romantic setting. The restaurant has beautiful old world charm, and details with exposed brick and the beautiful old bar, the iron staircase and the cellar. We all enjoyed our food, and the wine selection was very nice. My seafood risotto was loaded with seafood and my husband’s veal shank was big and very flavorful. And I’m glad we each saved room for dessert. The only downside was there were no specials. And I regret not getting an appetizer because there was no bread or salad. We just waited for our entrées.
