    We decided to go and try this restaurant based on the good reviews it has and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and a good size portion is given. I got the chicken Parmesan and I was highly satisfied. The tiramisu was delicious as well. We were able to be seated before our reservation time so that was a big plus. Overall we were satisfied and will definitely be coming back. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.

    Great romantic date night. The only flaw was the fact that the dress code wasn't honored. Me and my wife felt over dressed at moments. Maybe because of the cheerleading event that was going on. So I'm not holding it over them. Overall 10 out of 10. The waiter was the best waiter I ever had. She made us forget everyone else who was there. She was very informative and constantly checked on us even though the place was packed. Will be back again for sure and will recommend.

    We decided to try this place on Valentine’s Day. The building and interior are modern but not wild in concept. It was very open, including the visible kitchen and all glass front, that gave a fresh feel. The staff were very attentive and nice. They had a select menu for the night, but plenty of choices to enjoy. We started with fried risotto balls and the Sicilian meatballs. Both selections were perfect in flavor and texture. Our main entrees were lobster & shrimp tortellini and seared scallops with risotto. Again phenomenal, with new but wonderful flavors. We finished up with the hazelnut torta and white chocolate spiced apple butter cake. The torta is like a brownie with a house made Nutella and Nutella ice cream, and the best dessert. The cake was good, and plenty dense with apples and a bourbon caramel sauce, but the torta took the crown. Overall 5 stars and we definitely want to return and try the regular menu. Highly recommend giving this a try
