    Great experience, loved the vibe in the restaurant. Food was amazing, highly recommend the arancini. We were mistakenly seated in the incorrect section for Happy Hour, but our server kindly honored the HH specials anyways. Drinks were great, but service could use a bit of improvement. There were long periods of time where we were not checked on/empty glasses were not cleared/water carafe was not refilled. We also felt quite pressured to place an entree order despite indicating that we were going to leisurely enjoy some apps and cocktails (and the restaurant was virtually empty the entire time we were there so we weren't occupying a table that they needed to have turned over asap or anything). Otherwise, highly recommend and we will definitely be returning to try some more of the yummy food options.

    We were visiting Newark for a hockey tournament. We stayed downtown at Hilton Garden and went here for dinner one night. It was excellent! The service, the food, the ambience…we loved it all! The avocado taco and the salsa / chips were our favs!
