Reviews
We were walk ins and it almost seemed like they wouldn’t be able to seat us so probably best to make a res on the weekend. Other than that the service was on point and the open kitchen was nice to see the masters at work with such a confident demeanor!
Highly recommend!
Honorable mentions: steak dish, focaccia, Caesar salad, hamachi crudo, eggplant, chicken & “dumplings” pasta, delicatta agnolotti, & ricotta donuts. Only thing we didn’t absolutely unanimously agree on was the maple carrots, since they were sweet.
We notified the restaurant in advance about the birthday celebration and our interest in the tasting menu. Upon arrival, the chefs and staff were immediately attentive to our needs—whether it was refilling water or replacing utensils. Chef Jonathan impressed us with his exceptional tasting menu, while Chef Nathan stood out for his skillful grilling, including a flavorful duck breast that was a highlight of the evening.
Overall, the experience was fantastic, and we can’t wait to return to explore their regular menu!
• Crispy Eggplant – Lightly fried yet packed with flavor. The raisin-caper butter, pine nuts, and pickled peppers added a great balance. I really enjoyed this appetizer.
• Mediterranean Octopus – One of the best octopus dishes I’ve ever had! Perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful.
• Endive & Chicory Salad – The light dressing complemented the greens beautifully.
• Beets & Goat Cheese – A perfect balance of flavors—light, refreshing, and delicious.
• Wagyu Short Rib – Rich, tender, and full of flavor. An excellent choice.
• Aleppo Pepper Cavatelli – Slightly spicy, though mild for those accustomed to heat. As a spice lover, I didn’t find it remotely spicy, but it was still delicious.
• Alfredo Shrimp w/ Garlic Breadcrumbs – Light and satisfying. All their pasta dishes are served in a tapas-style portion, so you won’t leave feeling overly full.
• Vodka Pasta – A simple yet flavorful dish that really delivers.
• Olive Oil Cake – Unfortunately, this was dry and not to my taste. I prefer a more moist cake.
• Chocolate Budino – Absolutely delicious! This was a favorite.
A note on portions: This is not your typical Italian restaurant with large servings. I personally love this approach since I don’t eat pasta often and prefer not to feel overwhelmed by heavy portions.
We’ll definitely be back to try more dishes. Overall, a satisfying experience, and I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!
I LOVE how they have different options for guests, meaning that they have a great encompassing menu every night, they also offer a 3 course prix fixe at an excellent price, which has different pastas than the regular menu, and Friday and Saturday night they offer a 7 course Chef’s Counter Tasting Menu with all new and completely different dishes, straight from whatever is in season and Chef’s imagination!! The chefs are interactive and fun! They also have brunch on Saturday and Sunday!
The wine list is thoughtful and have some really great selections at a low price point, and the cocktails are world class!!!
The three course menu makes for an excellent sampling of appetizer, entre, and dessert for $40, though my one complaint is that all entres offered lacked any significant protein. It does appear the menu is updated semi regularly, so maybe this is isolated to the one I happened upon.
The crispy eggplant was by far the stand out dish – I each piece was cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and a delicate interior, with no hint of mushiness that can plague overcooked eggplants. The sauce, pickled peppers, and pine nuts all worked together to add complementary flavors & textures. Absolutely 10/10.
The mushroom pasta (whose name I can’t remember nor find online) was decent, but outside of a couple large chunks lacked a particularly strong mushroom presence. It may have also been my poor choice of pairing, but it did not work well with White wine, going particularly bland on the tongue after taking a sip of wine and only returning to it’s normal, mild flavor after a few bites when the fats/oils in the sauce have a chance to recoat the tongue. That being said, I found myself feeling there was something lacking from the dish, though I’m not sure what. Perhaps a bit more salt or even some garlic? Despite this, it was still a solid dish overall: 7/10
Lastly, the bread pudding: a combination of the smoothest, creamiest peanut butter mousse sprinkled with frozen raspberries and a syrupy raspberry sauce produced an accompanying flavor profile that worked delightfully with the fresh, warm bread pudding slice. My only nitpick is that, while presented beautifully, the deconstructed setup made it challenging to get a bit of each flavor on every bite. Still, easily an 8.5/10.
