    This restaurant has a soothing ambience and smells really lovely when you walk in. The butternut squash ravioli was OUTSTANDING, and the service was impeccable. Would recommend.

    First visit to this restaurant, very impressed with the space, the staff and the food. Menu covered all the bases without being overwhelming. Food was exceptional, we shared the ziti and the agnolotti. Meatball appetizer was amazing, the meatballs were tender, flavorful and served in a simple but very tasty tomato sauce. Only complaint would be the volume of the music and maybe the playlist, seemed a little out of step with the mix of diners that were present. Definitely with visit again, still many selections to try.

    First of all our first experience was right before Christmas. It was delicious and we did the Chef tasting and was not disappointed. We came back yesterday and a totally different experience! The menu changed but not a big deal but the appetizers were just too much, example the crudo had too much stuff on top that took away from the taste of the crudo! There were cocktails listed for 30.00-40.00 dollars, really??? It seemed our service was rushed or at least that’s what we felt. Just an over all expensive meal that lacked the expensive taste. Very disappointing! Also very loud and those who have a hard time hearing it’s very frustrating not to hear conversations at your table. Hope they get it together!

    The entire dinner was wonderful with a relaxed, professional, and well-timed evening. Our server, Alyssa, and the entire staff were friendly and attentive to our table. I look forward to dining here again the next time in Athens.

    We have had the most fantastic experience multiple times here, and will continue to come back for every special occasion. Marina was our waitress, and she was absolutely fabulous. She had amazing recommendations and was so attentive. We will definitely be back!

    First time dining at this restaurant. Pretty atmosphere, open kitchen concept. Wait staff was very attentive, knowledgeable about menu, made suggestions. We were headed to a show and they made sure our food arrived in a timely manner but not rushed. Definitely will be back when we can dine at a more leisurely pace. Also, the bar was closed for some remodeling so would like to come back and enjoy.
