    Met some friends for dinner. We enjoyed a cocktail at the Bar before we were seated. The service was excellent. Once seated our server Evan was amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and was attentive. The food was really great. I had the Shortrib with a side of Polenta. Absolutely delicious. They had an extensive Wine list with some of our favorite Italian wines. We're definitely returning and requesting him as our server.

    Everything we got was delicious and our waitress was so kind and helpful with recommendations! I will say the tables around the room felt cramped because we were sat right next to people on either side of us and it was very tight. Other than that, service was great. We enjoyed the whipped eggplant, ceasar salad, soprassata pizza, Bianca pizza, vodka pasta, and the pavlova. The pavlova was unexpected- slightly sweet and sour with different textures. Definitely will be back.

    Love the place every time I go. They need to lower the DJ volume a couple notches instead of keeping it at night club level.
