    This place is terrific. It is beautiful with multiple rooms of different style with a very warm decor. The service is friendly and very informed. This is refined Italian dining, not the typical kind of American cheesy Italian. It is relatively quiet and very easy for a large or a small group to have a conversation. While it is not Michelin level, it is not Michelin priced either. You really can’t go wrong here.

    The cocktails and food were very creative. The wine list is exclusively, unapologetically, and properly Italian. I love my California wines, but am glad that this place is committed to Italian food and wine.
