   I’d been to the Brookline location years ago and loved it, so I was very excited when the Westwood location opened (much closer to home)! It was my anniversary last night, so my husband and I finally made our way here to celebrate. Everything was excellent! We sat in a cute booth near the bar/kitchen area and were immediately given sparkling wine and wished a happy anniversary. Turns out my husband called in advance to request this (he knows I love sparkling wine), so it was very nice that they accommodated this and it truly gave the evening such a lovely start. My husband ordered the Mardi Gras bourbon cocktail, which I tried - very refreshing and not too sweet! For dinner, we split three of the sharing plates: tomato bruschetta, heirloom carrots, and bolognese arancini. All were delicious. The bruschetta was perfectly crispy with a creamy cheese spread and absolutely perfect tomatoes. The carrots were spicy and excellently cooked. The arancini was our favorite: fried to a crisp with a pillowy rice center and all well-seasoned.

   Food and service are very good. Sound level is very loud-not a place to have a quiet meal.

   Great restaurant! Ambiance was perfect. Staff was friendly and attentive. The short rib, baked clams and bolognese were a must.

   The food was excellent and the choices interesting. Our waitress was less than helpful, not friendly and got several drinks wrong. We plan to return but hope to get a different server.
