Server forgot our order then lied about it, saying “ it was busy” and that our food would be right out ( which it wasn’t). No apologies and server then avoided us the rest of the meal while owner was defensive and short with us. Money was taken off bill, but waiting 45 minutes for our food ( while others got their meals in half that time) ruined the night ( we had a concert to get to, and had to rush out).

I took my 13YO daughter here for a pre-concert meal. We love Italian cuisine but are picky eaters with some dietary restrictions, including gluten and dairy allergies. They were very accommodating and offered gluten free pasta. I had the Italian sausage marinara and my daughter had the bolognese. We raved about our delicious meals for the rest of the evening! We also enjoyed the antipasto appetizer. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere cozy.

Great pasta dishes in a lovely outdoor garden, and friendly and efficient service. It is an absolute shame that this restaurant is closing due to the property being sold. 😩 Hopefully they will find a new location soon! 🙏🏻

A beautiful evening with outstanding food. Every dish we had was exceptionally prepared. I would love to get the pesto sauce recipe….we suggest starting with the calamari and the burrata. Thank you!
