    Fantastic meal! Our server was amazing; and so was the food - salad with beets was out of this world; pasta was cooked perfectly and the bolognese sauce was perfectly seasoned. Would definitely dine here again!

    I haven’t been here in many years. My server, Katie, was excellent. An excellent meal and experience all around.My starter was the deconstructed caprese salad over ciabatta, which is definitely made to be shared. Main course was a spinach risotto with scallops. Dessert was the lemon tartufo. The limoncello spritz is addicting! I will definitely be back!
