    Went for Valentine’s Day and it was absolutely outstanding. Some of the best food I’ve had in general, definitely the best in Jersey City. We had the linguine which was cooked al dente and the fusion of Japanese flavors with pesto worked really well. The whipped ricotta and crispy mushrooms were also phenomenal. Highly recommended. Service was super polite and accommodating as well. My girlfriend has a severe tree but and peanut allergy and they made us feel very safe. Thanks again for a great night!!

    Amazing food. Even better service. Unsure of the kind man that greeted us at the door, but he made our night all the better! And actually took the time to speak to my 5 year old daughter which I always appreciate! A great gem to have in the neighborhood. I’ll definitely be back!
