    First impression, nice ambient it was a quiet night. The place was not busy. But not impress about date night special dinner. Drinks were a little off, maybe balance or flavor. can be improved. Same with the food, not much flavor is my pasta.

    We were visiting from Indianapolis and looking for a quaint Italian restaurant, we found just what we were looking for! The meatball appetizer is amazing, best meatballs we've ever had, and we always order meatballs to judge an Italian restaurant. The tableside cheese wheel pasta included sundried tomatoes and shrimp, not to be missed! Other notables, pizza and chicken parmesan too. The staff was welcoming and provided a great dining experience in addition to the meal.

    Great vibe with multiple generations enjoying delicious food. The artichoke appetizer and lamb risotto entree were excellent. Great to get a great meal that delivered at a reasonable price. Ask about the speakeasy.

    The place was very cute and cozy. We got seated immediately and the service was good. Our waiter misheard my boyfriend’s order and brought out the wrong dish at first, but immediately apologized and got the right food to him in 10mins or so. For the mistake, they comped us dessert. So service was a 9/10. The food was overall very, VERY, bland. I ordered the chicken parm and my boyfriend got the cheese wheel special and both dishes just lacked flavor. It didn’t taste bad, it was just blah. I wouldn’t go back, and I don’t recommend.

    Squash blossoms and bread service excellent. Pasta with clams a bit over salted. Cacio e Pepe pasta a bit over cooked and over peppered. Tiramisu to die for.

    Unfortunately the valentines menu was not fantastic. Overcooked and 1/4 ribeye, the strawberry shortcake was dry.
