Love dining here, food was really good and staff were very friendly and helpful. We had delicious fresh bruschetta, yummy ragu and a prosciutto pizza, ice cream and lemon meringue. Staff were very genuine, thoughtful and fun. The lighting could be a bit softer and a little lamp or light on each table at night. The space is very nice with a fire and elegant modern bar. Highly recommend
