The food was fantastic with great service! Our waiter was so nice and attentive. It was too noisy, like super noisy. Which if your looking for an upbeat place where you don’t mind not hearing the folks you’re with, it’s fine. But def didn’t work well for a date night with my husband. It is likely because it’s a smaller venue so the noise level on a Friday night is going to be loud. That will not keep us from going back though. Absolutely delicious food!

This is hands down our favorite Italian restaurant anywhere. The cozy atmosphere welcomes you in and the amazing staff makes you want to linger all evening. There is a great cocktail list followed by a lengthy wine list. We had the crabmeat crusted sea bass and bolognese and back again a second night for the crab cakes. Do NOT miss these if you are a crab cake fan. We would have date night here once a week if we lived down the street. Don't miss this local gem!

Loved our waiter, delicious food, fairly priced. Live music, not too loud, rounded out a beautiful evening. We are repeat customers who walk a pleasant 15 minutes each way to our favorite neighborhood gem.
