    We ordered the 5 course dinner menu and everything was flawless, the agnelotti and the potato side dish to the steak being the highlight for us. We had the desserts changed (for a small fee) and did not regret (neither me nor my wife are super fans of apple desserts). The only asterisk for us is that the wine pairing did not include a glass to pair with the agnelotti, which left us wondering if we should have added the two pairings or if we should have just ordered a bottle. Other than that, again, everything was amazing and I would definitely return for a giant agnelotti plate

    We made a reservation for 5:00 pm, once seated we asked about the Happy Hour, was told Happy Hour was only in the bar area. However, the Server allowed us to order food off the Happy Hour menu which was nice , we ordered from both menus. I don't understand why we dined during Happy Hour and had to pay $5.00 more for drinks due to sitting 100 feet away from the bar? Overall food, tacos, and drinks were excellent. Next time will sit in the bar.

    Overall, it’s a fun place to go with authentic Italian food. A bit pricey. The noise level is high, so it’s hard to have a conversation.
