Very delicious authentic Italian! They also have a good happy hour menu between 5:00 and 6:00, bringing prices down a few dollars. The boar ragu over gnocchi was outstanding. Gnocchi was light and fluffy. Wonderful night out with friends.

The food was great as was the ambience and music. Cocktails could have been better - they were not well-balanced. Looks like they had a good selection of wines though. Service was generally good. The waitstaff was nice, but we had 3 different people attending to our table which led to some confusion about who ordered what and one server asked after clearing our appetizers if we wanted to see the dessert menu, and I had to point out that we had not yet received the entrees we ordered. I would still go back but feel like this place could be some much better with some attention to details.
