    The drinks and food were amazing! The arancini with the melted parmesan from the garlic bread is a great combo and the fusilli pesto and radiatori vodka was great! We also got the dark chocolate budino and it was fantastic. Stef, our server, was great and so friendly. Will definitely come back another time!!

    This place never disappoints, from the young gentleman at the host stand, to the owner, to the servers, and of course, to the food. Order ANYTHING and you’ll be satisfied, but standouts are: Either of the soups, any mezze, and the Epice salad. I’ve been a customer since day one and I’ve never had anything less than a great experience!

    This was an absolutely amazing experience for my girlfriend and I. We consider ourselves foodies and this restaurant did not disappoint. The flavors were exquisite. Flavor dynamics that paired so well with each other! In a word, savory. The staff were very polite, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was subdued in serenity. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

    It was our first time in the restaurant. It was also our server’s first night working at this restaurant. She was very pleasant and helpful. I had the ribeye steak and it was delicious. The grits were also good. The chips and salsa were perfect. We will definitely go back.
