    Get the spaghetti meatballs. The contrast between the wagyu tomato meatballs and the blanco truffle pasta was amazing. The pesto didn’t really stand out and I don’t think we would get it again. Although it could be that we were just blown away by the first pasta dish. Pear and Brie pizza was really good as well. Will definitely be back!

    Stopped in for a drink after dinner. Space is very cool and makes for a great atmosphere. It was really loud so not great for conversation but the music was good and since we were just there for 1 drink it was fine. Service was average, our server was quite soft spoken so had a hard time hearing her. She didn’t really introduce us to the cocktail menu or mention whether or not the bartenders would do other cocktails based on spirit/taste etc. Drinks were good and the space has a great vibe. Would go back for sure, but wasn’t blown away.
