    Sitting at the bar, both bartenders took amazing care. The wine recommendations, the added dinner digestives, and the overall guidance through the menu made this an exceptional experience. Thank you to the manager Erik and to the incredible team for the recommendations on the heirloom tomatoes and pizza bread, followed by an incredible lasagna. But the after dinner amaros brought this experience from a 8 to a 10. Shout out Juan for introducing us to this place and continuing to bring exceptional service.

    Wow…the food was outstanding. It arrived kind of cold, though the place was packed so I assume the wait staff was slammed. It is a very loud restaurant so if you’re going for an intimate or romantic meal, this would not be the place.

    We celebrated my wife’s birthday here last night and from the get go felt like we were taken care of. The hosts seemed sincere and cheerful wishing her a happy birthday, and that set the tone for the night feeling special. I’ve worked in service, and I know it’s not always easy to be festive on someone else’s behalf when tons of birthdays are celebrated every day, and the kindness of the staff stood out. Sandra took wonderful care of us, comped a dessert for the birthday and made sure we had everything we needed while giving us our time and space to enjoy the meal. We will be back!
