    Outstanding food - wasn't sure what to expect, but a great blend of flavors that are Japanese inspired. Put them in the same category of some of the great restaurants I have ate in my hometown of Phildelphia.

    First time and definitely will go back. Service was excellent. Menu has lots of choices from traditional Italian to innovative cuisine. We did traditional. The Burrata Bruschetta appetizer was great. The Lobster Ravioli was very tasty. Nice portion with lobster meat in the raviolis. The traditional Pasta and Meatballs was our favorite. We had it with homemade rigatoni pasta. Reminded us of Sundays at mom’s house. Overall I would definitely recommend it.
