    Holy cow! Excellent food and service! Great quaint location. Had the steak and scallops dishes for dinner. Delicious, tasty, well-seasoned, well cooked. Opened up with the charred Brussels sprouts and beef carpaccio. Also had the little gem salad. Their bread is soft and crunchy at the same time? How’s that? The place was sold out and with a line of people waiting for their turn to sit at a table. Owners are present and working. Just a great restaurant with great dishes!

    We love this place- a nice hidden gem in downtown WC. We love sitting at the bar and Lucas is great- very knowledgeable and an experienced bartender. They had a three course prefix for Valentines Day which was a little pricey but delicious nonetheless. We just wish they still offered their delicious homemade bread during the prefix. One of our favorite date night locations- we’ll be back!

    We have been dining here for over 11 years, we live in Green Valley and travel over an hour, usually to get here due to traffic. It’s absolutely worth it. Thank you to Giuseppe and Christine, and all of their wonderful staff. Tonight our server was Nico and he was wonderful! The food is always so delicious and fresh, but even more importantly, our service is always top-notch. Thank you so much always. Wade and Christine Coleman

    This was our first visit. Overall, very impressed. Will go back. Food was amazing. Service was a little slow as it was a busy evening, but owner was right in there helping the servers. It was a rainy evening so everyone was inside and it was quite loud in the main dining area...but made it festive an fun.

    The pasta class was an awesome experience! We learned how to hand knead artisanal flour and make 4 types of hand-pressed and 4 types of filled pasta while learning the history/background for each. They showed us the machines they use to make their extruded pasta and freely answered all our questions. Beverages and fresh rosemary shortbread were available throughout the 3.5 hour class. After we finished making our pasta we got to observe them being prepared into the dishes we dined on afterward. Our teachers were very knowledgeable and helpful. I definitely recommend
