Great staff. Nice decor. Unfortunately the food was not good. My veal parmesan lacked flavor, was burnt on the bottom, and soggy from too much sauce and cheese. The bed of mashed potatoes they were sitting on lacked flavor and were very thin. The tomato sauce was also very acidic. No one in my group enjoyed their entrees. On a positive note, their complimentary bread was good and so was the chicken and dumpling soup. Also, the chef offered to remake the dish and seemed very eager to make things right. I was told by family members who joined me in this occasion that the food was much better a few months ago when there was a different chef.

Our lunch was delightful. The three of us each had something different and we all enjoyed our meals. We all had the lunch special menu which included entree, soup, salad & gelato. Can't wait to go back, really enjoyed our experience.

The decor and service is great here! But the food was lacking in flavor and was just an overall miss on some dishes. Drinks were good. The tiramisu was actually pitiful for an Italian restaurant. The fettuccine carbonara was not flavorful at all, it just tasted like cream. The chicken was decent enough. The crab cake was not great and incredibly tiny for $25. We came here to celebrate a birthday, there was no special occasion service or perks. Overall I would not eat here again. I see the vision for this place but the mark is being missed.

Food was excellent. I learned to go for the catch of the day, a creative dish of the chef. Delicious! Stylish dinner with absolute great & friendly service. We enjoyed it, as usual.
