    The food was amazing. We ordered several pastas and they were all cooked perfectly especially the gnocchi with gorgonzola. We had the pistachio Gelato and tiramisu for dessert and they were both delicious. The staff was so attentive and friendly and the music made the night feel special. We love this restaurant especially for special occasions.

    Ate dinner outside. The most comfortable chairs ever. Maybe the same indoors, but I have no knowledge of that. Also, a lot quieter, naturally. Our server was extremely helpful. No rushing. The food was great: we had shishito peppers and clams for starters, then the trout and the branzino. My husband liked my branzino better than his trout, just because it was almandine and he felt it an unnecessary coating. Then, great flourless chocolate dessert. Drink were good goo. Would return without a doubt because the menu had so many offerings, it would be great to try them all.

    My wife and I were greeted by the hostess at the door who wished us a happy anniversary(our 48th). She seated us in a nice cozy booth near the back of the dining room, with plenty of romantic atmosphere. Our waitress, Abby, was very pleasant, attentive to our needs and came to check on our meal progress just the right number of times. in fact her timing was spot on. We thanked her for her service and attention to detail. Our appetizer, the bruschetta trio, was delivered quickly and was neatly prepared. Delicious sampler. We both ordered the Filet Mignon which was set red with roasted carrots, sautéed spinach, and smooth mashed potatoes covered in brown garlic sauce. It was comfort food, cooked to perfection with a satisfying compliment of favor. Overall, a great dining experience.
