This elegant restaurant, featuring a hidden speakeasy-style bar in the back, surpassed all our expectations. The staff was warm and provided outstanding service. Our attentive server showed great knowledge of both the menu and off-menu specials. The team worked seamlessly together, ensuring our table was never overcrowded or neglected, with food and drinks arriving promptly. We enjoyed the branzino, grilled beets, crispy polenta, and veal ragu capalone—each dish bursting with flavor, creating a perfect harmony. For cocktails, we sampled the Aperol Spritz and Mezcal Amaretto from the bar. The drinks were enjoyable, though we look forward to trying other options next time. To finish our meal,...
Great food. Had the lemon ricotta gnudi, totally different than the usual pasta, topped with hazelnuts. As second plate, we had the pork chop, oh my goodness, just amazing, so tender that you wouldn't believe it is pork, great sauce, oyster mushroom made agreat compliment. Had the shishito peppers and onions as side, would have made a better side for a steak, but yet delicious. Weaslo had octopus as appetizer, was good but not as amazing as other reviews suggested. Oh, and that olive oil cake withmascarpone and lemon sorbet, what a way to close our dinner, just outstanding. The only issue is that the place is very smalland tables are way too close to each other, with the music being so loud...
I saw the light after this meal. Seriously. Went into the most glorious food coma that I unfortunately came out of.We enjoyed some veggie orduvs, which I believe are free, at the beginning of the meal. We love octopus so figured, why not! Glad we made that decision because it was some of the most tender octopus I have ever eaten. After that, we were recommended to order the bucatini carbonara, which is mixed together table side.I wish I ordered more so I could rave on about how great this food was. The staff was also exceptional, with plenty of recommendations. They also have a way with words, making every dish sound to die for.Hint: ask to be seated in the back room. It’s a speakeasy styled...

This was an amazing experience! It was my girlfriend’s birthday, and about 4-5 different staff members came over to wish her happy birthday, which made her feel incredibly special. We also received a complimentary glass of champagne and dessert. They really went above and beyond to make us feel celebrated and appreciated. Our waiter, Keegan, was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We tried the lemon Gnudi, okra, The Pie (chicken pot pie), and their gluten-free chocolate cake. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the Gnudi! I will definitely be returning and can't wait to come back!
This restaurant is a lively and enjoyable spot for Italian cuisine with a modern twist, served by one of the finest teams in the area. The atmosphere has a certain “it” factor that makes you feel cool just by being there. It’s dark and intimate yet vibrant, particularly if you're seated at the hidden back bar. Most of the menu items are creative and well-executed. We did experience a couple of minor issues during our last visit, but those are uncommon and always addressed effectively. It’s a great choice for a weeknight date or a weekend dinner with a larger group.
I absolutely loved coming here for our 1 year wedding anniversary. Our server was very friendly and definitely wowed us. The smokey flavor to the Branzino fish and broccoli was amazing. The crispy potatoes were cooked so perfectly. And the gnudi is aged for six days and woooow! The manager Harry came by and was super nice and offered to get us a reservation anytime! They have a secret speakeasy you might get invited into.I wish I kept the receipt to give our server credit by name but he said he had 6 kids and has been Married 33 years lol
We had a fantastic experience from the moment we arrived until the end of our meal. Although our table wasn't ready when we got there, the host graciously led us to a back room where we could enjoy some cocktails. The atmosphere was wonderful, though the music in the main dining area was a bit loud. We ordered the Spicy Creste Di Gallo, Prime Short Rib (which was delicious and extremely tender), grilled okra, and charred broccoli. We can't wait to come back!

I absolutely love this restaurant! It was my first time visiting with friends, and we were really impressed. They offer delicious Italian pasta with a unique twist. The squid ink pasta and the blue crab pasta were both fantastic, and the pork chop was incredibly juicy and full of flavor. The salad was also outstanding. I will definitely be returning!
