Had a great time! the portions were a little more than expected which was a nice surprise. All of the students seemed knowledgeable, especially on how to pronounce the food. The food itself was amazing. Go for the gnocchi. It was nice to sit in a restaurant and enjoy rather than have a giant table full of food that you feel rushed to eat.

Our server Zach was outstanding and first and second courses outstanding— Desserts were a little disappointing— and too big! All students were great for service and very prompt— witnessed a very difficult customer at adjacent table that the student waiter handled with poise and composure. Had lunch and glad we did not eat here for dinner— because portions were more than adequate … Would not hesitate to eat here again!

Service was top notch. Staff asked if food was good and if we needed anything. One thing I did not like was ricotta appetizer. We were sharing several appetizers and ordered two ricotta dishes. It wasn’t even enough for one person. There was barely one tablespoon of ricotta. I thought there could have been more. The main dishes were good. Dessert was the best.
