    The tuna crudo had good flavour, but it seriously lacked the richness of the blue fin tuna. The meatballs were a tad salty. Maybe the mix of salt in the marinara and the seasoning. The duck on the charcuterie board was delicious. Brian, our server was personable and friendly. By looking at the menu, it seems far-fetched to be an Italian restaurant. Just because you have pasta on the menu does not mean it is an Italian restaurant.

    This was our first time at this restaurant and we weren't disappointed. It is so nice and our waiter was amazing. It was my husband's birthday and he got a free dessert. The food was great. Our friends thought so too. It was the best Caesar salad everyone had ever had. The Calamari was the best we've ever had as well. The noise level was perfect until the U of L game let out and then fans flooded the restaurant and the noise level went up several decibels. I think normally it would be very quiet. There's also a speakeasy downstairs. The ambiance is lovely. We will definitely go again.

    I just wasn’t impressed. It was just mid. Nothing special. I expected the pasta to be amazing but it all stuck together and needed seasoning.
