Small menu. Arugula salad had very few toppings and wasn’t vey flavorful. Salmon was ok but the spinach over it was very greasy. Pasta was fair but completely overpriced for the plain dish. Very expensive for the quality.

Enjoyed the pesto crusted whitefish special very much. Other dishes, while good, were not great. Fiery pasta dripped in oil. Salads dripped in dressing. Service was a bit rushed despite open tables but otherwise good. Overall, would return and order a bit differently.

The food and service are always amazing however when the hostess was re-situating tables she could have lifted instead of dragged to not disrupt dinging guests

The atmosphere, the decor, the service were all 5 stars, however my food came raw, yes, and I ordered Chicken…Limone. I sent it back to cook, they reheated the two chicken breasts I had and gave me another to make up for it I suppose but the new chicken breast was ALSO raw in the center. They weren’t even going to ask when they came back and saw the entire chicken on the plate still untouched. So, my boyfriend’s mom had to ask them to please remove it off the bill. Just be aware, I wish the kitchen was better because the menu was great, the service was great and the restaurant is beautiful. I understand it’s the holidays and it can be stressful but I don’t mess around with food temperature, especially when it’s chicken.
