The pasta is incredible and the freshness amazing. The Foccaaia was a class apart. Service and knowledge of staff was top notch. Only thing I’d say is the $26 glass of wine was way out of whack with value. Unfortunately this is true at all restaurants now. To have hand made pasta at this level makes this a restaurant worth spending your hard earned money on.

The food was delicious. I had a cheeseburger and my friend had the lobster bisque. We stayed inside since it was chilly outside. It was also chilly in the restaurant as well. Service was great!
