Great place. Service was on point. Food was really good. Calamari for all then i had crab crusted sea bass which was amazing. We also order mushroom risotto n 2 other dishes which i forgot the names. Every dish was really good and the vibe was amazing. Make sure to reserve though.

I really loved celebrating my 30th birthday here! I got a beautiful Tiramisu. Scallops were the special and they were so good! Very impressed with the service! When you go make sure you ask for Martin!

This place is SO good! I got the crab crusted sea bass which was the best sea bass I have ever had. So fresh and perfectly cooked! My mom got the seafood ravioli which was amazing as well. The mussels appetizer is phenomenal, and their garden salad was tasty as well with balsamic vinegar. I got their “chef’s choice” special dessert which was Italian Cream Cake tonight. Perfection! The wait staff (CJ) and manager were so friendly and kept in contact with us throughout the dinner – everything was perfect! The vibe in here is awesome and the decorations are lovely. My only wish is if they had a real mock-tail menu.

Excellent service and food. The atmosphere is cozy, not a lot of walking room between tables. Very pleasant neighborhood restaurant. Will definitely be back. Linguine with tenderloin made a nice combination.

Excellent! Sat at the bar and our bartender was fantastic. Chicken Parmesan was incredible, Sauv Blanc was delish, & the garlic bread was heavenly. Definitely recommend

Gnocchi was as it should be, pillowsoft and delicious to smash up on the roof of the mouth! When I come back I’m gonna have it served with the Bolognese sauce because I love that. Service was terrific.

Romantic candle lit setting with live music. A bit loud but soft enough to have a conversation. Speak up. Lol. Food was fantastic. We had Calamari for starter, Salmon and Chicken Limone both cooked to perfection complimented by a bottle of red wine, and Tiramisu for dessert. Business casual dress code. Perfect for date night! Highly recommend! I didn’t take more photos because sometimes it’s best to just enjoy something beautiful and perfectly balanced.

Went here with a couple of friends for a girls night out and everything was amazing. For those worried about parking (I always am when on this side of Dallas!), the restaurant offers free valet parking. The restaurant itself is small and quaint, definitely good for a romantic night out with the mood lighting and the live music (the music isn’t too distracting either because it’s all acoustic). Because the tables are close though, you will have to talk above the noise so keep that in mind.

This place is amazing! The ambiance is perfect for a date night. It’s small and romantic without being overly fancy. The food, oh, the food! I had the clams linguine and was in heaven. Everything about the dinner was absolutely perfect. The wine that the waiter recommended was perfect for the meal we ordered, too. And very fairly priced for what you get. I have nothing other than positive things to say!
