    This was my first time at the restaurant. it was festively decorated and offered a handful of holiday cocktails. The spiked egg nog was a treat and came with a small gingerbread cookie. Food wise, there was not a gluten free bread option nor sourdough bread to sub for the breakfast and lunch sandwiches nor a GF pasta option. I ordered the breakfast sandwich without bread. The eggs were dry and there was no flavor to the meal, including the crisply potatoes which were dry. I did not finish the meal and instead ordered a side of the house potato chips. At least those were good, the drinks were fun, and service was great overall.

    It’s a fun, well designed space but the food fell short and the menu is very limited. My cacio y Pepe pasta had a thick, white tasteless sauce. The truffle fries, however, were great.

    My first time at this location. Wonderful design! Incredible food. The service that Arturo provided as well as the other staff was exceptional. I will definitely recommend this to others moving forward. My sole piccata was unbelievably delicious.

    I went for my birthday dinner and everything was really tasty and well paced. I didn’t feel rushed at all and the service was very attentive. We started with the whipped ricotta and zucchini fries, both were delicious but the whipped ricotta was my favorite. For entrees we had the ribeye and a pepperoni and cheese pizza. The ribeye was a perfect medium although I would’ve preferred more sear and seasoning. My son’s pizza was great. Dessert was strawberries and cream and a cookie skillet with vanilla ice cream.

    Went for an early dinner with our two kids expecting the worst (we have toddlers), surprisingly service was on top of it. Kids were entertained with crayons and chicken tenders while parents enjoyed dinner. Well done Joe.

    My first time here and can't wait to come back. Beautiful looking restaurant. I went with 2 of my clients for lunch. The 3 appetizers were perfect. Zucchini Fries , Nancy's Caprese , and Beef Carpaccio .... all delicious . I had Black Truffle Cavatelli w/ Toasted bread crumbs , I seriously thought I was back in Italy ! The Lemon Bowtie pasta with Shrimp was another incredible dish . Another dish , Johns House made Raviolis was another super dish . Service was above Parr .... Ben our server ,went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and well served. don't miss this neighborhood Gem !
