Easily one of my favorite restaurants. The dishes are fantastic and one-of-a-kind and the atmosphere is the same. Bacon jam burger, fried chicken and waffles or trout, it's all good!

Had a great experience eating at this restaurant. The environment was pretty loud, but I was still able to converse with my friend and the server. We had the cheese wheel pasta made my Chef Marzano himself. Desserts were phenomenal. Highly recommend the tiramisu and cannolis.
