Overall it was a tremendous experience. Great date night without the kids. If you go, keep in mind that this is an experience meant to be savored. Total time at the restaurant clocked in at two hours. The restaurant clearly intends for your dining to be a drawn out experience, savored and relaxed, so plan accordingly.

Loved the main dishes. Appetizers were good to very good. Bar is where it fell a little short -- wines by the glass were just "ok" and specialty mixed drink wasn't so special. But would definitely eat here again!

The food great, our waitress couldn’t have been nicer, and the vibe is cozy and quiet enough to have a conversation without shouting.

This was a wonderful restaurant. A very different menu than the usual Italian restaurants. Their buratta with persimmon and pomegranate seeds appetizer was delicious. We both had pasta dishes that were delicious too. We were there on a Tuesday night so it wasn't too crowded which was nice. Service was fantastic too!

Nice restaurant with lovely decor and ambiance. Service was very good. Food was good, I have to say that my pasta was a little over cooked. I do prefer Al dente.

Definitely one of the best places we've tried in the area and beyond. We will definitely be back!
