Let me start off that service is always great, so my rating is for this experience only.

We have been here before and totally forgot about this place. We went there for Friday night and were able to sit right away. The food is delicious and I really liked that they had an option of smaller portion for many dishes. Their bread was good as well!

Really great Italian place, their gnocchi, ravioli, and steak were all top notch at our table. Friendly, helpful waitstaff and strangely good bread. We will for sure be going back

A wonderful meal on the patio. Service is precise, the sommelier knowledgeable and helpful, and the food is delicious. Order the Brussel Sprouts, the Rotelle, and the Lamb Chops. You won’t be disappointed.

I honestly wish we remembered the name of our server as he was excellent and wasn’t judgemental about us – when you’re under 50 at a restaurant like this, you come prepared to have the occasional uppity behavior projected onto you. But no, we had a fantastic time for my partner’s birthday! Four of us had lovely food, the drink pairings were excellent, and the dessert was superb. We even had coffees with our dessert and it was heavenly. Overall highly recommend! If you love seafood, ordering the squid ink pasta is optimal. Enjoy!

This is one of the few places in the cities where they get the front of the house right. They know hospitality. The wine selection is way more immense than the menu. Pro-tip – ask the sommelier to pick your wines, I’m sorry but you’re probably not qualified. Order a Negroni to start. Maybe 2. Notice that the ethereal orange color in the glass compliments the sunset in the windows behind the bar. Order the calamari. Don’t use sauce, just lemon. Kiss a stranger, tip well. The cannoli is made to order.

Lovely balcony, good wines in fishbowl sized glasses, delicious food with excellent service. The rates reflect that excellence; such a nice treat! <3 This was my first visit here. They have large wine & market area (enter, turn rt) for items to go as well.
