We had a very nice dinner, great food and cocktails in a really fun atmosphere. There were some blips in the service, but they took accountability for the mishaps and they were minor in the grand scheme. We definitely recommend and will be back.

Dined here for the first time on my birthday and couldn’t recommend enough. We had a great experience and everything was delicious! Highly recommend the arancini. We also ordered the bread service which is focaccia and whipped ricotta. I had the chicken parmesan and my husband ordered the pork chop milanese. I will forever dream of this chicken parmesan! So cheesy, crispy, and flavorful! My espresso martini was very sweet but I liked it as it was my desert. My husband loved the affogato. We will be back!
