    Was recommended and looked like a lovely small Italian eatery. Actually has many tables in the rear dining and upstairs areas. They killed the ambiance by seating us in a dark corner even though the restaurant was almost empty. Then failed to pace the playing properly and we ended up with the bread, appetizers, and salads arriving at the same time. The Caesar salad was almost good but not quite. All the dressing, cheese, was poured on the core of the Romain wedges while the leafy end of the lettuce was left dry. The branzino was only average and had several bones in the filet. The spinach was over-cooked. The tiramisu (prepared table-side) could use time to set and soak. Overall, it felt rushed and a few clicks off of excellent, which is what we hoped it would be.

    Wild boar ragu too rich and inauthentic with the addition of truffles which overpowered any wild boar flavor. Indifferent/distracted service for our key reason to go (the table side making of the tiramisu).
