    The food, the staff and the customer service at the library was top shelf It was a little bit loud, but that’s to be expected given the entire restaurant was full I was a little concerned at first with the volume of people, but the team at the library pulled it off without a hitch ! Thank you

    Made a same-day reservation for 7 on a weeknight. We were looking for an Italian restaurant that did not have stereotypical Italian fare, and this delivered. The restaurant was lovely and we were seated in an area that was not crowded; the ambiance was really nice. Service was attentive, the cocktail selection was great (including some really interesting mocktails); the small plates were excellent, and the main courses were good to excellent. We didn't feel rushed, and the whole experience was genuinely enjoyable. This restaurant is pricier than where we would usually go, but it was a memorable dining experience.

    We were a group of seven and our server was ver friendly and accommodating. Food was fantastic and large portions. Stuffed squash leaves were amazing as was broccoli rabe and mussels. Our meals were even more delicious if that is possible. We had various dishes including veal, eggplant, pasta and chicken. Everyone was more than satisfied. Arturo is an awesome chef. Love this place.
