But all of that changes with Safina: a new casual Italian concept that comes to the historic building at 785 N. Jefferson St.Focusing on comforting dishes with roots in Sicily and the southern regions of Italy, Safina's goal is to keep the menu familiar and accessible. The restaurant also features a full bar and second-level seating, complete with wood and marble finishes that highlight the rustic, modern Italian ambiance.

Service was great, food was well prepared. Chef was just a little too free with the salt. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

The Edison has a great vibe! Cocktails were good (we ordered traditional as well as on menu). Food was super good - wide variety of mains that everyone enjoyed. We were celebrating christmas with our family and received excellent service of Alex. We also appreciated the free round of drinks from the owner who my niece chatted with at the bar :) That was a very kind gesture! We will be back for sure! Great place for locals and out of towners!!
