The place is beautiful and cozy, but unfortunately the food was very disappointing. The pasta was one of the worst I’ve had — lacking flavor.

Wonderful tableside pasta! Very nice ambiance. Heirloom Tomato salad special with ricotta salata and watermelon was delicious and the eggplant carrozza was outstanding. The surprise dessert tiramisu for my daughter’s graduation was very nice, although that should have been presented prior to the other desserts being served. But overall service and food was delicious and we will be back!
