    Noth never disappoints! On this occasion, the restaurant was extremely busy and getting started with service took 15 minutes or so, which is unusual. Maybe they were short waitstaff? Once our service was engaged everything rolled along very smoothly and our server Jordyn W was excellent! Our meals were cooked to perfection and delicious.

    We are traveling from out of state and celebrated our 7 year anniversary on January 7th. Our server Marco was very efficient and made our experience a great one!! We were given warm bread with olive oil to start and once they found out we were there for our anniversary they gave us a free glass of champagne to start the evening off!! We had fresh salads as appetizers. I had the It was Aged Porterhouse Agnolotti pasta with a brown butter sauce and I think I cried at the first bite, it was so good. My husband had the NY strip with brussel sprouts, both cooked perfectly. Ended the evening with bowl of gelato, which was of course delicious and also complimentary for our anniversary. My one and only complaint was it was extremely loud in the dining area so we had to talk louder to hear each other, but very romantic atmosphere and everyone around us was laughing and having a great time!! 10/10 would recommend and go back!

    Tayler was a fantastic server - very friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. The food was great and the monday happy hour deal made it a great value to try and share smaller variations of their apps and entrees. Love the open kitchen concept with the pizza oven. Absolutely going back! And want to try one of their cooking classes.

    Exceptional dinner! The seafood tasting menu was wonderful but come hungry because it’s a lot of food. The wine recommendation was perfect. The pork tenderloin was cooked beautifully and the lamb/beef ragu was rich, decadent and delightfully seasoned. Don’t skip the home made focaccia!
