Absolutely amazing experience with delicious food! We visited on National Dog Day, and it was such a treat. They even had a pup menu, which my little boy loved—he enjoyed every single item!
The atmosphere was lively with great music, and the food truly stood out. We tried the octopus salad and fried calamari—both cooked to perfection. The lamb chops were next level, especially paired with the cranberry sauce.
Overall, it was a fantastic time with wonderful vibes and mouthwatering food. Highly recommend!

Went here for dinner last night for the first time. I had the pasta fagoli which was very tasty and bursting with flavor. However, the flat bread pizza was substandard. It lacked flavor of any kind. The vegetables were not cooked well on the pizza and cold. But, the bread with Olive Oil was amazing. Atmosphere is great but, better restaurants in the area.

Besides the food, the service is outstanding. I asked the waiter if they have any hot drink like hot chocolate coz we were sitting outdoor and it was kinds cold when it’s getting late, the waiter told me they don’t have it. But after while he came back and let us know he just went to the kitchen and talked to them and found out they have chocolate milk and they can steam it. And ended up they didn’t charge us too. When our table server/waiter went to the kitchen (before we knew he went to the kitchen to find out the hot chocolate for us), another waitress passed by and checked out each table and when she asked if we needed anything and we said we ordered already, he immediately observed that our glass was still empty that she thought no one brought us water yet, so she immediately went to grab us water. The front desk who took us to our dining table also observed that our seats were without cushions and told us it’s better to sit on cushions and brought us the cushions for our seats right away. All of these thorough details impressed us a lot! The foods are good as well. We especially like the duck breast, even the side dish like potatoes well cooked and filled with garlic aroma. I also love the veggies risotto that the veggies taste so fresh. Other dishes are average as well. Definitely wanna come back to try more of other dishes.

We had a bridal shower here 7/19/25. I can not say enough how wonderful the event was. The location is beautiful! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable! Jeff was attentive and accommodating to any concerns. We were in the wine cellar room. It was the perfect size room and exactly what we were hoping for. There is a phenomenal bakery and Italian eatery attached. We honestly felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, yet there were 4 parties happening simultaneously. Thee is also a place for walk in dining. GO GO GO!!!! You won’t be disappointed ❣️

You have to do the Thanksgiving Buffet. The food was phenom, cocktails amazing, service so good. My little guy who never eats was able to try from so many different things and lived the deserts. Great for families with toddlers who need to be fed quick and get in and out. He stayed for the full 2 hours. Great experience and will be back next year!

Came for the Tuesday night pasta flight. Reservation made- awesome. Front staff accommodating and nice- working hard. Got to a table outside and the atmosphere is great. Beautiful hanging flowers on the pergola.
Had to ask for a drink menu. Ordered salad / food/ bottle of wine…all good. Salad came, we had to ask someone for utensils, half way through we had to ask someone else to see if they can find out what happened to our bottle of wine. Almost finished our salads before our waitress was walking by who we flagged to ask about the wine. Super nice apologetic but was throwing blame elsewhere. Got our wine right before our mains. She apologized again for no more wine buckets- that doesn’t matter. Our food came out which got delivered to the wrong table which were then grabbed and brought to us.
So yes would I go back. The food and atmosphere is worth it, but a poor showing of collective wait staff.

The food and drinks here are amazing! The restaurant is also conveniently attached to the bakery so you can take home some treats for later. Will 100% be returning.

Smallest portion of penee vodka I have ever received. I ordered take out- container was not even 1/2 full- photo is before we ate any, was definitely not worth $32- disappointing

Completely awestruck by their ambience & vibe! We went there on a Tuesday night for the pasta flight and to our surprise, the restaurant was full and buzzing by 7pm. The host, the workers and the floor manager were all so friendly and caring. The wine flight is definitely a good option if you really love your wines and can’t decide what to choose. We ordered a red and white flight. And for the pasta, we ordered the bucatini, penne and the linguini- oh my the taste was out of the world!! Truly a great experience and will definitely come back soon!
