   We arrived at our reservation time to no one at the hostess stand. We had to wait several minutes before being greeted. Then we had to wait for our table for two. We were seated in the bar area - did not think reservations included bar seating. We waited 15 minutes without any acknowledgement. Wait staff was at table right next to ours several times, we were never acknowledged. Our table was directly across from hostess desk, but we were never taken care of. Not even water. We left also letting hostess know we were leaving. She didn’t seem to care. HORRIBLE!

   The antipasto salad was missing the salami and cheese, the salmon was flavorless and was to be served with potato’s which there was none. The prosciutto pizza has a ball of ice cold cheese on it. The service and drinks were good. The food was not good. Not going to return.

   Love supporting this place in downtown Aurora as it was sooo needed. Great food, great space, my only suggestion would be for a better wine list.

   Great staff, beautifully done inside! Food was not great at all. Would go back for an app and drink at the bar maybe.

   Love this place. The food was delicious and the portions just right . Decor is welcoming and light. We went before a theater performance. My only complaint was there were only 2 servers so service was a little slow which wasn’t an issue until we needed to pay the bill in order to get to the theater in time. We will definitely return.

   Food was very good. Many good options to choose from. Service was a little too quick as we hadn’t finished the appetizers before main course was delivered.

   This place is incredible. First, the food is delicious. Everything is fresh and the flavor combinations can't be topped. Our server was spectacular, checking in on us at just the right times. We were surprised at the value when the bill came. It is exceptionally delicious food at a very reasonable price. I am already dreaming about going back!
