   I'll start with the positive because this is a very good/solid restaurant. Dined here yesterday evening with a couple of friends. The service and food were wonderful...from the bread/salad to the entrees which included the bolognese, bucatini, and ravioli. And the negative...if you appreciate a good cocktail such as a martini, buyer BEWARE. My entree was $26 and I was absolutely shocked when my bill arrived and the total before tax was $47. That's right, the martini I ordered was $21!! $14 menu price w/ the following up charges: $3 for Tanqueray gin, $2 for olive brine b/c I ordered a "dirty" martini, and $2 for blue cheese olives. Frankly, $21 for any martini is ABSURD...and it wasn't even good. Never in my life have I been up charged for ordering a dirty martini, and a $3 up charge for Tanqueray which is very standard in the industry? I'm used to this kind of up charge for Bombay or Hendricks, as examples. Most places often do no up charge for blue cheese olives, either.

   The service was very slow from the beginning. We ordered appetizers and asked server for a recommendation which than came out wrong. We ordered salads and they came after entrees. The restaurant was crowded which is great however the noise level made it difficult to communicate within our table of 4. 3 of 4 meals were good, portion sizes were adequate. Will be reluctant to return.

   The food was wonderful! It was a great place to celebrate my mom's birthday and made the evening special! Small note: It does get pretty loud in the restaurant when it is busy.

   Great experience - visited on a friday during lent, so craving fish, seafood and veggies! Our kids LOVED the branzino, pomodoro and mussels. Mussels had a little kick so not the kids fave, but we LOVED them. The baked ricotta coupled with a glass of red was stellar! Great helpful service as the host and owner were both out meeting and greeting tables and thanking us for dining. Lovely energetic vibe - great for all!

   We found this little gem in December during a business trip to Indy. We loved it then and brought our team back for dinner during this trip. The food is excellent (especially the Chicken Picata). Our waitress Marisa was awesome was the highlight of the evening. She made us feel at home and was a lot of fun the be served by. We can’t wait to go back again soon!!

   Took my daughter and friends for her 18th birthday. The girls enjoyed it but I felt disappointed in a few things. The table we were placed was way too close to the table behind us. The waitress sighed, rolled her eyes and wasn’t very professional. Definitely skip the “bread service.” My salmon was very overcooked even though I asked for medium. Emailed the restaurant to let them know of my concerns. No response back. Likely won’t go again.

   Our server David was fantastic. He took very good care of us. I had the short rib ravioli and my husband had the gnocchi. Both were excellent. The restaurant is located in a historic building. The dining room is lined with large windows that look out onto the street creating a pleasant atmosphere.
