Food was amazing but the ambience was top tier! Our server got a little overwhelmed with tables but the rest of the staff did a great job to check in. We ordered the whipped feta/ bread and the olives for an appetizers, and although not a fan of green olives- these weren’t bad! We ordered the tortellini and the bolognese for our main entrees and they did not disappoint. Definitely finish with the Crème Brûlée but I’m excited to try their other desserts as well. Everything was amazing.

First time at this wonderful byob. We enjoyed our dinner. The party of over 20 people made the restaurant a little noisy because it isn’t a large plane. Excellent service and food we will definitely go back.

Very good restaurant. We had the branzino which was nicely done. The baked cheese was good. The menu says baked or fried but they only offer baked (they should change it on the menu). Service was a little slow but it was a comfortable place where you are not rushed. We will go again.
