We loved our dining experience. The food was excellent, and the service was very good. We opted to sit at the bar instead of a table, and they were just as attentive when we got their attention. I would return to this location. The vibe is cozy and great for dates, and the holiday decor is charming.

Truffle linguini was so fresh with just the right amount of truffle. Spaghetti carbonara with pork and the egg on top was a hit at my table. Pappardelle was a good hardy bowl of pasta and roasted lamb. The capri pizza with a Caesar salad was a perfect appetizer for the table. Priced reasonably for the city, this place is definitely worth several visits.

Food was great and wine recommendations from sommelier were excellent. In the beginning things seemed very rushed. Our Negronis were served and within 5 minutes the first course arrived. We asked the wait staff to slow things down which they did and it made the evening more enjoyable.
