    Had the braised short rib pasta & fried ravioli appetizer- both were delicious! Our server was very nice & checked on us often. Will be back!

    I took my husband here for his birthday. It was very pretty inside but really loud. The music was too much and it felt a little overwhelming to have an intimate dinner. However, the food and service were absolutely impeccable. First of all, I am gluten and dairy intolerant. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful as I navigated the menu. We ordered the gluten free bread service which was so delicious. Then, the martini salad, which the server split for us, hubby's had cheese, mine without. Hubby ordered Lasagna. He said it may have been the best Lasagna he had ever eaten. I ordered the chicken picatta with a side of gluten free pasta with arrabiatta sauce. Let me tell you, these two dishes were absolutely to die for. Their gluten free pasta is some sort of magic. It is tender and so close to normal pasta you'll think they're lying! We finished with the gluten free pistachio cake and the creme Brule for hubby. Both were extremely good. Overall, this is one of the best dining experiences I've had with my dietary restrictions. Definitely recommend.

    Over all good food, the squid ink seafood pasta was a little disappointing.

    So much better than the last time we were there. Except for the constant bass! I don’t know if it was a car outside or what was going on but it pretty much ruined the meal for us. Our table was super wobbly too. When I cut my chicken, hubby’s beer almost spilled. Please fix those. And what’s with the mini bread loaves?
