Gluten-free pasta was delicious as well as chocolate mousse. Only complaint, steel seats or wood benches: no cushions. Back was a little soar after dinner. Otherwise great!

Highly recommend! Our 1st time, and it was a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary! I am gluten free and our waitress was very knowledgable with the menu. We started out with a caprese salad. I had the short rib pasta dish w/ GF pasta. It was delicious! My husband had the lasagna which he said was amazing and melted in his mouth! Our waitress went above and beyond to make our night special and even gave us a complimentary, yummy panacotta. We will definitely be back!

Went for dinner on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was very busy with not enough staff. In talking to server it was apparent that this was unexpected. The craft beer was good and the food was excellent.

Came in for lunch on 11/6/24 with my daughter-in-law and my 2 year old grandson. I asked for a highchair, and said maybe they shouldn't seat us close to others in case the toddler acted up or made noise (which he didn't!). They assured me it would be perfectly fine. They weren't worried about it at all, and made us feel welcome and comfortable. It is a gorgeous place with wonderful food and service, and we will be back. Warm regards, Jeanne
