    The service was quick, helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. We got the early in the evening and allowed us to choose our table . Water came out immediately and was refilled promptly. Fresh bread with olive oil was delicious, the server helped us with the menu. The food was fresh and amazing. The ambiance was cozy and accessible; felt like Italy. The restaurant filled up quickly ; seemed like a handful of regulars, young people on dates and older folks out with friends. It was lovely!
