   We had the 4 course restaurant tasting menu and it was perfect introduction to everything the restaurant had to offer. A lot of food and each dish was unique. Wine pairing produced some standout Italian wines that we likely would not have chosen ourselves.

   We arrived on time and stood by the front host desk while the hostess dealt with a reservation on the phone. No eye contact, no smile, not even a glance our way. After 5 or so minutes, we were given a table right by the door. Not ideal but not an issue in the end as the room was small and the vibe was good throughout. Not sure I'd be happy there on a cold winters night. No menus, or servers for several minutes. When our server arrived he was quite intense, polite, but somewhat standoffish as if we'd have to earn his trust. We build rapport as the evening unfolded. He was efficient and professional, just not particularly welcoming or friendly although we did manage to get a smile once or twice. Again, no big deal as we don't dine out to befriend the service staff. Wine list is very good (essentially all Italian) and we enjoyed 6 different, interesting, and well served wines by the glass. We had to order all our food at once - our server would not allow us to order appetizers first and then consider main course options later. This was a little frustrating but it was obvious they wanted to turn tables as often as possible. The food menu is small but very thoughtful and everything was truly delicious. We had three appetizers, a pasta dish, a fish dish, the aforementioned wine and two bottles of sparkling water and the bill was $333 for the two of us after an 18% gratuity. We would most likely return and perhaps sit at the bar next time.

   Wonderful food. Excellent service. Only detraction is the noise level....so hard to hear conversation across the table while dining.

   This is a great restaurant with a very trendy, modern vibe. Open concept to be able to see the kitchen while eating. Service was fantastic, and this restaurant would be particularly good for a date, night out with a few friends. Pasta was a bit disappointing. Fresh, quality ingriedients but didn't seem cooked. If I lived in the area, would likely go back for a night out with the wife. However I wouldn't travel the hour that I did again to visit.

   I came here after seeing an Instagram post about the gluten-free pasta, which I was very excited to try. The pasta was good and they were able to accommodate me not having cheese as well. Portions are small for the price but overall a nice place for dinner. Service was OK. The waiter seemed a little annoyed with us because of our restrictions, but it was busy that night so maybe he didn’t feel like dealing with that.

    We had never been here before but we’re pleased with the experience. They were especially accommodating to our gluten free needs.
