    Great place, the atmosphere was super cozy and elegant. Food was delicious. It was busy but not overly loud, (rare to find nowadays) easy to hear conversation with the people at your table. Great spot for a date night.

    Decent food and very good service and ambiance. We arrived right at 7:30 for our reservation but had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. The worst part of the restaurant is the music they play. Would have been so much better with no music at all. If you feel you need it maybe some light jazz. Trust me / no one wants to eat to the sounds of “Whip It” playing in the background.

    The atmosphere was fantastic, with festive holiday decorations and a vibrant vibe! The food was excellent—we started with the house-made focaccia and a Caesar salad, followed by the chicken parm and spaghetti with meatballs. My only suggestion would be to serve the bread warm; since it's not complimentary, the added warmth would elevate the experience. Overall, everything else was spot on!

    Delicious food and wonderful service . Only complaint is the $9 charge for bread (focaccia) . We shared the harvest salad , eggplant rollatini and butternut ravioli , everything was great and the restaurant is beautiful. I definitely plan on going back
