    We had a wonderful time. Booked the Winter Haus rooftop experience, there were 6 of us. They had a heater to warm the space, nice ambiance. They had fire going outside. We ordered several things from the menu and everything was really good. Our server Owen was absolutely delightful!

    Nice neighborhood Italian restaurant. We went in Christmas Eve. I was in town for work and wanted an Italian meal for Christmas Eve. Found this restaurant on Open Table. We arrived early intended to have a few cocktails at their bar. The place was packed to the extent they had given reservations at their bar which is pretty small. They got us a seat at the bar and we had a couple drinks as planned before our table was ready. Once seated server was very prompt our food came out fast and was very good. I was surprised they didn’t have a traditional Christmas Eve Italian menu but they made me spaghetti agli olio off the menu and it was very good Great value for the night. I would return again and recommend it to others.
