    What an amazing experience! The pizza was amazing. The rack of lamb was absolutely stunning. Great preparation cooked perfectly. The appetizers were fantastic. Nothing is pedestrian. They take everything and prepare it just a step above. The service was very spot on our waiter Romeo was very attentive and genuinely loved his job and was very good at it. The wine list was carefully put together with great Italian selections that paired fantastically with the menu . Thank goodness this restaurant is not too close to where I live. Otherwise I’d be there at least twice a week!!! 😂🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

    I made a reservation 2 months in advance for Christmas Eve and our party of 5 was seated in an extension of the bar area. When we have eaten here before, we were seated in the dining room and it was lovely. The bar area, however, has zero ambiance. Our table was too small for our party and we were bumping into each other’s place seatings throughout the evening. We were directly across from the men’s restroom! Unfortunately, they were unable to reseat us and offered no other option or compensation. Thus, the ratings I provided. The food, however, is amazing at this place. I had a butternut squash ravioli that was flavorful and outstanding. One of our party had veal piccata which was also delicious. The truffle pasta was very rich, but also very good. The wine offerings are excellent as well. Not sure we’ll return after this experience though. Christmas Eve dinner is a special occasion for our family and the seating was just not up to expectations.
