    Once again Chef Alessandro delivers a memorable meal filled with bold flavors and amazing service. Only difference was now we can experience this for lunch! Not often you find a restaurant that is this consistent with a chef/owner that makes you feel warm and welcomed. Thanks Chef!

    Absolutely loved this place!! Went to celebrate a friends birthday and they see the table with a happy birthday sign. The food was outstanding not a single complaint. One of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had and the cosmo was great too. The people and service were super attentive and nice! The music was such a vibe. We had a reservation at 8 so that was around when the dj started. If you don’t like very loud house music i wouldn’t say this place is for you at night lol.. but the music was awesome it was definitely loud but I wasn’t screaming at my friends to have a conversation. Will be going back !!
