It is a cute little restaurant with some seating outside. The outdoor seats were very close together though so bigger groups might be better inside. The wine list online did not match the actual one which was disappointing. They also did not have a cocktail menu in-person but said they have a full bar so they could make anything. I ended up getting an aperol spritz which was good. The bread at the table was delicious. Food came out super quick and was very good. Service was great. I wasn’t wowed by the restaurant overall but I would go back

They were able to take us ahead of our reservation time and the service was prompt and attentive. The Edison lighting offered a warm ambience and the food was delicious. I had the Porcini raviolis and my husband, the lemon caper chicken. An intimate restaurant that offers indoor an outdoor seating with big ambience. Will definitely return!

Please use AC in the future. Food and service was amazing but too hot and loud inside to enjoy the experience
