My friends and I went for a birthday dinner and the vibe is an 11 out of 10. Very classy and elegant and nothing seemed like it was bought from walmart or amazon. They take your coat. They have tap, still or sparkling water. The lemon martini was the very best I had ever had. The steak was a 10, the pasta dish I got… I felt like was missing something like meat. It almost was like a dip. The flavor was a 10 though! That was my first tiramisu. I can’t wait to go back. I also believe our waitress was Erica/Erika and she was amazing and new the menu very well!

Exceeded all of my high standards! In a town of hundreds of Italian focused restaurants this one nails it! Do NOT pass up the bread service which is a whole antipasti experience on its own. Roasted garlic butter, the creamiest quality ricotta and housemade mostarda make this a real treat. Authentic crepe manicotti like they do in Italy was in one word- MAGNIFICO! Service was top notch and the whole team was in sync. Beautiful setting. Bravisimo!

SUCH A LOVELY experience. It was the perfect place for a date night. We had drinks, apps, entrees and desserts. We loved the fillet steak and wine. The staff are accommodating and kind, I felt like a million bucks! Will definitely be going again.

We went to a Christmas party at this restaurant last year and it was lovely. We couldn’t wait to go back.
We went for my birthday a week later it was ok, not amazing like the party.

Tonight we decided to try it again. As we were walking in we saw a flyer that their sommelier received the James Beard award. Very cool. This person ended up being our server, her name is Alicia. We were warm and congratulatory to her. She told us they had a new chef from the last time we were there. When she heard I couldn’t drink wine, and only my husband, her demeanor turned snobbish. She was never at any point warm or kind or pleasant in any way.

We started with the Calamari. There was a little bit of calamari in there but it was mostly fennel and artichokes(we don’t really like the latter). The sauce was wonderful.

CALAMARI FRITTI
Crisp lightly battered calamari, artichokes, fennel, buttermilk herb dressing GF
$23

We declined salads and she asked us if we wanted bread service before our entrees. We said sure. I’ve never been charged for it before but let’s be honest, it was the best part of the evening. Don’t skip the bread if you go.

HOUSE-MADE BREAD
Sicilian bread, focaccia, ricotta, mostarda, roasted garlic butter
$10

My husband and I were going to get the porterhouse steak to share. It was out and we chose to get T bone steaks instead. My daughter got Veal Parmigiana and it was beautiful and delicious.

When my steak with potatoes arrived it was beautiful! I took a picture. I took 3 bites and found the steak and potatoes very very bland, like unseasoned. The server did stop by and ask my husband if he would like the horseradish sauce we had discussed earlier. We responded affirmatively. It never arrived. I couldn’t even ask for salt and pepper because she was completely absent. Visiting other tables around us but just not visiting ours. I waited at least 30 minutes but no server.

While we ate our disappointing appetizer we heard her tell a nearby table the desserts. They sounded divine. We were for sure staying for dessert even if we didn’t finish our steak and had to take it home.

I left a 10% tip and requested it went to the busboy. We eat out at nice restaurants a decent amount. And we are willing to pay for a very nice meal.

Sadly, we won’t be returning. We left $312 poorer. And before someone asks why we didn’t speak up my husband would be uncomfortable so I chose to leave a message on the bill and leave a fair and balanced review when we get home.

I would hate for anyone to waste their time and money on a night out that was such a sad waste.

Please see the pictures of my beautiful steak when it arrived. I waited over 30 minutes for salt, not that I even got a chance to ask for it be for a guy came to wrap up my food. Unfortunately my husband ate the majority of his steak which he found poorly seasoned and quite chewy. He said he thinks he might have gotten a better steak at Golden Corral, not that we have been there.

The busboy was awesome. The ambiance with the open doors and amazing music- wonderful.

If you are looking for a special place to eat, this is it! I went for a birthday and it was so amazing I am going back for mine. The chef is a genius, the staff is amazing and the atmosphere is perfect. The menu is seasonal so I will add more pictures from my next visit.

Loved the new happy hour menu. Grilled oysters on these cooler fall like days was a nice treat. Atmosphere and the street cafe vibe is really well done. We sat at bar but the banquets look super comfy.

Loved the atmosphere and apertivo hour! Perfect bites paired with delicious cocktails (like the Madrida-tini or the Hugo and Aperol spritzes!) Highly recommend the antipasto tower to split, and the arrabbiata sauce is delicious on the potatoes. The staff was busy, but made sure someone was always checking in so we were taken care of.

I found this restaurant on social media and decided to give it a try. I’ve been to many Italian restaurants in this area, and this one has definitely become one of our favorites! The menu is fantastic! The arancini are delicious and the bread is spectacular! All the pastas we ordered were great, and the dessert was light and tasty. The staff is very kind; we were served by John, the manager, who was super friendly and attentive! We’ll definitely be back.

Made a reservation here for a date night. The decor and the atmosphere were perfect. Lighting was a little low but it added to the overall feel for the restaurant. We enjoyed the rat pack style music and it wasnt too loud or overwhelming.

The service was phenomenal! We enjoyed having Ashanti as a server. She was very attentive and nice. My date was going through water very fast but there was always someone there to promptly refill the glass, along with remove empty dishes. Everyone was welcoming.

I had a Hugo Spritz and my date had a Negroni. Both were solid and delicious.

The food is where the evening fell short. We had three appetizers – arncini, oysters and bread spread. The arncini did not disappoint – flavorful and perfectly cooked. The bread spread was ok – the focaccia was good enough to eat on it’s own but the Sicilian bread was over toasted and not that great, even with the spreads. The spreads included garlic butter (lacking in actual garlic), whipped ricotta, and mustarda. The oysters, according to my date, where over cooked and tiny – tasted burnt.

For the main dishes, we had the Cappellaci pasta and the veal parmigiano. Both dishes lacked flavor overall. The cappellaci was very bland, no flavor at all, except for the crab meat. I wanted to ask for additional chili dust to flavor it up a bit. I did ask for parmesean cheese to give it some additional flavor. I’m not a salt person, but that dish could have definitely used a dash of salt or some type of additional flavoring. The sauce in the dish was more watery, then creamy.

According to my date, the veal was fine. It was one of the only good parts of the meal, outside the arncini. However it was served with pasta that had no taste or sauce on it – I assume because you’re supposed to eat it with the veal but he didnt end up touching it.

We were so disappointed in the food that we opted out of doing dessert. We expected better quality for the prices. The only saving grace for the evening was the great service and good drinks.
