    My partner and I shared a pasta a main coirse and a bottle of wine. The dishes were tasty and original in preparation. Each dish had a brothy sauce which was very good. The pasta was made in house. The wine list was very good with Italian and local wines Service was very friendly and done with care. The outside dining area was very nice and quiet. The resturant interior currently has the owner's collection of antique motorcycles and scooters, mostly Italian brands. Fun.

    This is the place where we judge all other steak houses. The calamari was amazing, only calamari I’ve had where you don’t need a dipping sauce. The steaks were cooked to perfection.

    I appreciate the servers recognized the birthday and Father’s Day note I put on my reservation. Denise our server was attentive and took great group photos of my party. All dishes were delicious and memorable We had the dry creek peach burrata with prosciutto, Caesar salad, escargot, halibut, rack of lamb, and my husband got the cowboy steak(served with tasty side of gravy). For dessert we enjoyed the cheesecake and rhubarb crumble. Ambiance was intimate, casual, but elevated. Great place to celebrate special occasions. We’ll be back to try their happy hour!
