    Everything leading up to closing out was great. We didn’t have to wait for our food very long. My husband and I came during restaurant week so we anticipated a much a busier evening. Our server, Joy didn’t check up on how our meals were after they had been served and took a while to close us out. The price of the food is a little

    Delicious food! The host was so sweet and checked in with us a lot as we waited for a table to clear since they were so busy! Which was a good indicator that it would be a great experience, and it was! Great environment, You have to get the squash blossoms! The pesto and gnocchi were also very good! The wine too!

    Made a last minute reservation when a nearby restaurant is closed. A blessing in disguise. So delicious, our server was incredible, and we were the perfect temperature with the heat lamps in the outdoor seating section. 5 stars and we will be back again to try more of the menu.

    Don’t sit at the bar. Bar service (no service) was terrible. No bread, burrata dish tomatoes were not ripe and hard to eat and my ravioli came out cold with minimal flavor.

    Ordered 3 apps with a beer and a btle of wine for 4 people. The apps came out BEFORE THE DRINKS?! Do not order the pizza. It is basically the complimentary bread with a jar sauce topping. Came out less then 10min after ordering. Overall experience was abysmal. Would never go back.

    Went here for date night and could not recommend more! Our lovely, kind, and energetic server, Gioia, strongly recommended the Gnocchi. So, we ordered this and the Malfatti which were both delicious but the gnocchi was simply exquisite! The black truffle butter gave it a delectable, umami flavor that, due to the meltiness of the actual dough, disperses throughout every corner of your mouth, making sure no tastebud remains un-blessed by its truffly presence. Make sure to have a moment with each little lump of gnocchi to really experience what I’ve described. Maybe close your eyes while taking a bite even. Thanks for your A1 service Gioia!
