My husband and I really wanted to love this place! It was so cute when you walked in and we were greeted immediately. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. The service was slow. We started off with carpaccio which turned out to be thinly sliced roast beef. We did choose a very good bottle of wine which we were happy with and it had a good price. The front page of the menu states that everything is made in house but when we asked our server if the Caesar dressing was homemade, he said no. Additionally, the pastas were not homemade except for the gnocchi. I ordered the seafood risotto, and my husband ordered the veal scallopini . It took a good 45 minutes for us to get our food. The risotto was served watery and not creamy and barely cooked. The veal was mediocre at best. I told our server that the risotto was basically inedible and he just said sorry. No offer to replace it or take it off the bill. This is the first bad review I’ve ever written.

Great options for celiacs! Took precautions to avoid cross contamination, and most things on the menu can be made gluten free.

Got excited about visiting this place for the first time based on their Google reviews. Food was ok, but not worth the hype. Cute little Italian restaurant. What really ruined it for is was the horrible service. Our waiter was too busy chit chatting with guests at other tables and we definitely felt neglected. Overall, we came, we saw, but thanks no thanks! Won’t be returning.

Great service and delicious food. Quite noisy because they had a group of 14 who shouted to talk to end of their table.
