A bit warm for the time of day but they were willing to move us inside, we stayed outside. Portions are great, not to over filling. The food was delicious. Our waitress was exceptional, checking in on us throughout, striking up great conversation.

You might have to wait a bit, but, if you are a couple the private little balconies are worth it - truly a unique dining experience. The balcony might not be great until the sun goes down in the summer, but we loved it in late June... Balcony or not, go for the food. The short rib ragu pasta and the bolognese were both to die for...

Both our meals were disappointing to say the least. They should try mastering classic Italian cuisine before putting a Mexican spin on it. We were never checked on once and had to flag someone down to get our check. They could also use a good interior decorator and space planner. Black paint is not the answer to everything. The entrance is now on the side of the building and you can’t go beyond the door due to a host stand and black curtains blocking entryways. Be ready to jump around a 4x4 space so all the hostesses can run around you. Won’t be back.

From the bread with the pesto spread to the mussels appetizer, short rib ragu, and the duck breast, it was fantastic. To top it off, Chris was our waiter and he was the best!! He offered incredible descriptions and advice. His service was the cherry on top of the best meal. Can’t wait to return!

I ordered the tortelloni mignon and while it was good, the portion size seemed super small for the price and left me hungry. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his ribeye. We were sat in a back area upstairs near the balconies which was quieter.
