Great atmosphere and delicious food! Almost canceled our 9:30 pm reservation but so glad we didn’t. The place was packed but the service was efficient. We had both kinds of gnocchi, vegetable frites, Caesar salad and fusilli with three kinds of meat- it was all excellent!

Our first time here and such a great discovery. All three generations said they’d definitely return with friends. Fun, delicious cocktails. Loved the multiple size options for ordering wine. Every dish was a winner. And the service was impeccable. Best of all though was the fact we could comfortably hold a conversation while still enjoying the music and great atmosphere.

I ordered a salad with grilled salmon. The salad came without the salmon; two people came over to apologize and to tell me they comped the salmon. I was floored. This place exceeded my expectations in food and service. Wow. Can't recommend highly enough.

Staff was friendly. Food is delicious but overpriced I think. Rice in rolls was sticky and a bit dry. My friend liked the pork ramen. Overall I had a good experience
