A wonderful birthday meal. The alla’amatrician was fantastic. the rabbit with grilled polenta, sausage and asparagus was “next level “- flavorful and so tender. We also enjoyed our appetizers. The zero alcohol cocktails, especially the Negroni are delicious. Service is relaxed and incredibly accommodating. There’s no phoniness among the staff, they’re welcoming, interested and just the right amount of attentive. The atmosphere is so comfortable- lively but easy for conversation and enjoying delicious food with good company.
