    The first time I came here several years ago, it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I have gone back a few times since, hoping for that same experience, and have been disappointed. This area has a lot of new and amazing restaurants and unfortunately this place fell off over the years. The service is also not on par with similar places. This was probably my last time going back.

    This restaurant was recommended by a Instagram influencer. We had reservations, but was seated at a large brightly lite booth across from the kitchen. Kinda felt like a diner. It was not acceptable to the four of us and asked to be moved to the main dining room. Atmosphere was nice and we could have a quiet conversation Service was slow, but the food was good. We felt a little rushed with courses coming out so fast. Food was fresh and homemade. We all gave it a B.

    They have a unique menu. The chef is very creative combining herbs, spices and food in a flavorful manner. Presentation is exquisite. El was our server who helped make our dining experience pleasurable. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, explaining each dish in detail regarding ingredients and how it is prepared. He had a pleasant demeanor who truly enjoyed his profession. The restaurant itself is well designed. All the other patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves as well.

    Lovely evening. All of the menu choices were excellently prepared. The service was very good. Ange did a great job. A little hiccup with a few wine selections unavailable, but Ange and the manager handled it gracefully. Minor issue, but I would suggest that such an outstanding Italian restaurant would have a deeper wine list, and especially the Italian / Super Tuscan wines.
