    Very nice BYOB with a great vibe. Great food! Try the giant meatball app for sure! Very noisy place so if you enjoy an Italian bistro atmosphere …it’s a must try!

    food and service were very good. we had an early reservation as we attended a show in town and the place was packed by 6 PM. I guess these speaks for itself. We live closer to the sister restaurant Osteria LK which is also very good but wouldn't mind driving back there.
