    Selections are very reasonably priced and service is excellent. They described their restaurant as Italian but with a modern flair. That is a perfect way to describe both the cuisine and the ambiance. I had the Cacio E Pepe with chicken. It was delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was creamy but delicate. When I asked if bread came with the meal, our waiter indicated that it did not. However, the waiter recommended their grilled sour dough bread (an additional $4), which came with an herbaceous butter - it was wonderful! My friend ordered the day’s special gnocchi with short ribs that fell off the bone. For dessert, we all wanted the tiramisu. It was not exactly the soupy Tuscan style nor the dry lady fingers style. I’d say a mixture of both. Sorry about the picture as we all devoured it so quickly I had to snap a quick shot after we had started digging in - I’d highly recommend it.
