This place never gets old. Started off with a bottle of Sancerre - their wine collection is epic. Broccoli $ potato puree soup… woah! Veal meat balls… always outstanding. Hide made fresh linguine… did I already say this isn’t our first time and we still haven’t explored the whole menu! The service is top notch! Thank you to our server (Selena?) and the gentleman from Sicily who made sure our glasses were never empty. We’ll be back

Went here for Valentine’s with the hubby. The atmosphere was intimate and lovely. They gave us a rose, there were rose petals on the table, and the other patrons were all having their conversations at the same level so there was just a nice quiet mummer over the restaurant. It was so nice and the food was terrific, it was the first dinner in months where neither of us felt drawn to take out our phones. The energy was just right for us to feel like being engaging with one another. 10/10 would (and most likely will) dine again.

I took my girlfriend for Valentines Day dinner. The food was amazing and the wine was excellent. Service was spot on. The only complaint was that we sat on the covered patio and the heaters were set to extra hot. Overall it was an amazing dining g experience.

The most perfect Valentine’s dinner experience me and my new fiance could ask for. We just got engaged and wanted to come to our favorite romantic dinner spot which is Venice!! Have dined here before and absolutely love this place. Our dinner last night could not have been more perfect. Our waiter made amazing wine selections to pair with our meals and every bite was so beyond delicious. I tell everyone I know to come eat here because our expectations are exceeded with every time we come

This was my first time at this restaurant. I’ve been wanting to go here for some time. The food was amazing, the service was great, inside was beautiful. We did go on this year’s Valentine’s Day. The hostess handed out long stem roses to all the ladies, such a nice added gesture. The only downside to the night was that we were seated right next to the door to the covered patio. With all the traffic of staff walking by & the constant creaking of the door every 2 secs, it made it feel very chaotic & distracting. It’s not lost on me that it was an extremely busy night & we were never lacking for service. I would definitely go back in the future but hope to be sat somewhere else in the dining room.

Christian was our waiter and his service was impeccable. Our food, from appetizer to entree, was delicious and the servings were ample. The noise level is louder than I like but we were placed in one of the smaller rooms which added to the liveliness of the evening.

Service was excellent the entire time we were there. We had osso bucco and lasagna bolognese, which were both delicious! We had plenty of room for seating and were very comfortable.
