I had the most wonderful time on Valentines Day! I am not big on alcohol of any sort but our waiter gave me the best recommendation ever. I now swear by the dessert moscato, Di’asti Emilio Vada. I didn’t get his name but he has totally turned me into a wine drinker (responsibly) LOL! Everyone there was so sweet even the woman that paid for the wine she also recommended. I LOVED the appetizers! I had fresh burrata & foccine. I had the best time. Thank you so much for making my love day special.

Tymee'a we are thrilled and super happy that you enjoyed your stay with us on Valentines Day. Thank you so much for this amazing review and I will make sure to share with all of our staff. All the best and looking forward to having you back soon. Claudio

So FABULOUS!!! They made such a mistake going so close to our theater time because this is a place to savor and enjoy. I could rave on and on about the wine selection and the food – especially the charcuterie platter – but honestly, the service was so far beyond what you would normally get at this price point that I can’t even begin to say enough. Phenomenal experience and can’t wait to go back.
